This is one of the paint schemes I have been planning to do. But have been way too busy as of late with other things. I’m still trying to get my “Memphis Belle” kit done. Here are a couple reference photos from the batch I’ve been accumulating for my eventual kit. I hope they are helpful.

Famous director John Ford made this color documentary/propaganda film during the Battle of Midway. There are some nice shots of B-17Es wearing the Hawaii Air Depot scheme. The color photos posted are screen captures from this film.
