Looking for a B-17 kit. Mostly looking for a complete kit, with all wood cut out and most of the hardware included. I don't have a vacuum forming machine, so all the plastic windows,turrets, engine cowls, and everything else would have to be already made and included in the kit. I have fairly good building skills, and this would be my first attempt at a multi engine airplane kit. I understand what I am attempting here and I know that it will be a very huge project and will take lots of time. Any help is appreciated. Thanks again!
