It seems whenever Draggin' pushes a release date "back", it tends to becomes "eternal".

Re: 1/144 Scale B-17 and B-29 Fortress Opinions

IMHO, Dragon beats Corgi with both the B-29 and B-17, but like everyone else here has stated Dragon's B-17 looks like crapola from the cockpit forward. The rest of it is not too shabby and the B-29 is awesome, as I have the Enola Gay, Bockscar and Look Homeward Angel. Corgi's props are flimsy looking and the hubs are waaaaaaaayyy too big as well as the cockpit areas of both the Corgi B-17 & B-29 are just plain sloppy looking!

It's just too bad that the Dragon B-17 nose got a late friday afternoon treatment by their design department! Kinda looks like Jay Leno's chin.....

Hey Landslide depending on which Buff you got why not look at a C-130 Herc to sit along with it also. There are some really nice schemes out there.
