Default Hobby Lobby B-17

I've been looking for a B-17 for years! I have an American Eagle kit but haven't had the time or money to start it yet. So when I saw and started to read the reviews of the Hobby Lobby B-17 I had to have one. So here it is, I did shave the chin turrent down a little bit and they had the wrong tail gunners position for the Nine"0"nine, she had the earlier tail shared with the "F" model not the latter "cheyanne" tail turrent. And she was to clean and shiney for her 140 mission markings so I weathered her up to look like she 's flown 1,129 combat hours and had over 20 engine changes!
We'll take her out to the field for her first flights Saturday.
