One For Elliott.

[Rata]

This one is now available from Ecards: 1/100 Boeing B-17G 'Sentimental Journey' in memory of the late Glenn 'Elliott' Merrill. It's another S&P repaint but this one is not another resize of Bruno's 1/300 model but based on his 1/100 'commercial' version: #267. His kit is actually this plane (44-83514) but I added some mods; ie: nose art, landing gear and redid the cockpit windscreens and the tail gunner's position. This is a test build and any issues you can spot here have been rectified in the final draft.
While I can't take credit for the original design, and I know I can safely say Bruno would fully endorse the following sentiment, I hope the sales of this repaint contributes in some way to the legacy of Elliott with all proceeds of it's $1 sale price from Ecards going to St. Baldrick's Foundation children's cancer research.

As you said correctly, I fully endorse the sentiment.
Well done, mate.

Garry,
While I'm a fan of the Liberator, I have to say that your take on "Sentimental Journey" is absolutely gorgeous! It is a fitting tribute to Elliot.

I can only echo the sentiments above, and say, cool.

[Rata]

Thanks all.
And thanks to the folks at Ecards for preparing the terrific presentation page for the listing of this model on their site. This was my first submission and I was a bit in the dark as to what I needed to do. I just sent the model PDF's and a single photo and they did the rest.
