Default B-17G Kits

I am a scale fan, and i've been in he hobby a while, and am looking for a B-17G kit, but i can't find anything. I did have the idea to get some of Don Smith's plans, and then send the plans to someone to laser cut the parts out, and then build it, or something along those lines, but i'd prefer to get a whole kit. If anyone knows anything as to where to get kit or if you think the other idea is a better option, then i'd appreciate your input.

thanks,
Jon

If you go to Don's website he list a cutter who supplies kits. Another source for a G is wingspan models...
Good luck.

Good luck.

Don Smith is going out of business, so i guess i'm going to go with the 1/9th scale B-17F/G on wingspans models website.

The laser cutter is going to take over his plans and provide the kits, Don is going to retire.

The wingspan Model looks nice, ought to be a nice build.
