Looking for correct B-17
I have a 90 year old fiend who was the pilot of the lead B17 on D-Day for the diversion run. Mr. Stanek is a fan of some of my paper planes and has a B-24 I did for him but now I would like to do him one of the Mighty 8ths planes that were at Lavensham England his patch is faded but Says Gentlemen from Hell and he was in the 387th I think. Any ideas on where I can get a B-17 with the Black square on the tail with a white P? Thanks

I don't. Know of any exsisting model, but I am sure that someone who has purchased the Fiddlersgreen B-17 can repaint it once you find out the specific serial number and nose art he flew for that mission. Or if you know how to repaint a model, you can buy it and do the work yourself.

Do you have any pics showing the markings?? could be an easy quick repaint of the FG B-17.

heck, I never even thought about the FG B-17...that might be a good candidate for the model.
I don't own the FG Bombers ......yet... maybe Jeff can help

I did a Google search on the 387th Bomber Group and it shows
up as primarily a B-26 Group. Have you got the correct Bomber Group or is there other info we could search for. Ron |

Hey all;
I finished the repaint of the FG-B-17 into the requested model, with some detail mods included, I am going to Ask Chip if he wants it as it turned out rather well, I was able to do everything except the main nose art, and Roman Vasyliev was kind enough to make it up for the model. here are a couple of sample pages.

Thanks Mike,
Maybe I can help him out after I get my B-17 design complete. I don't think it would be to hard to repaint to the 487th color scheme being the one depicted is a late model G with the Cheyenne tail gunner. Ron |

I already did help him out. And he seems happy with the kit, now just hoping for pics.
