As the person who inherited this fine example of formation ship artwork from PappyB, I can say without fear of contradiction, that this plane is absolutely dazzling in person. Even more so if I look at it without my glasses as I have astigmatism. WHOA!

It really doesn't look bad at all nestled among the other heavies in my collection. Needless to say it does stand out.

Thanks!

At DiecastAce Field, of course

(otherwise known as the photo tent on the patio table in my backyard... )

I bought one off ebay about 2 years about for about $30.00 Thought it was a cool scheme anyway. But no guns.

Having this particular model in my collection, I must say honestly that I warmed up to it and the paint scheme really grew on me! Having said that, I believe this is really one very
nice model. Like most of you, I found and bought it at Tuesday Morning for a steal.

Sorry guys, but this is one paint job that I find "FUGLY".... Ugly.

Besides, it is painted in Georgia Tech colors ( Yellow and Black ), and I am a product of the Univ. of Georgia class of 1985 ( Red and Black ). GO DAWGS !!!

Speaking of another Corgi Eighth Air Force heavy,

What do people here think of the "Yankee Doodle" b-17 (I may be able to pick one up cheap because it is damaged)

I'm assuming I can get a new propeller from corgi spares and replace the old one with it.

Oh, and where is "Tuesday Morning"?

Some people don't like the Yankee Doodle, but I do. It has the unusual camo job on it, but that is how the real one looked. It is a very historic aircraft. It is not the typical example of the everyday B-17 from the 8th, but it is still pretty cool. As for the lack of guns in the B-24, I believe that to be correct. They usually took them out of the assembly ships, and field hacks.

I very much like my Yankee Doodle, Wespen.

As for as Tuesday Morning, that is a U.S. store, I don't think you have them in your country.
