I have seen it and I am not that impressed with it.. The plane is 1/144 and is comparable to Corgis version but each has different pluses/minuses..

I saw the first Dragon B-17F, the Duchess (DRW51003), when it came out and was underwhelmed. I just saw the second release, The Sky Wolf (DRW51006), and to my eye it looks better. It seems like the engraving on The Sky Wolf is finer. The Duchess looked like a pre-pro model to me; The Sky Wolf doesn't. But it's a subtle difference; maybe I'm just being optimistic. I didn't haul out my wallet to buy it -- I used my pennies to buy Corgi's Don Taylor Typhoon (AA36504) instead. I'm thinking about buying The Sky Wolf, tho' -- I know Burbank's House of Hobbies has it in stock!

Hey folgore, let me know if you buy sky wolf. I would like to know if it worth the money, thanks.

Tank Nut,
Check out this thread..... i started a while back about it.
Since the thread i have bought a 1:144 Corgi Memphis Belle B-17 at Tuesday Mornings May Day sale earlier this month and
i compaired the two together and they both have pros & cons.

Thanks star man, it looks real cool and I just got off the dragon web site and see that there is another one out now (sky wolf) So what do you find are the pros and cons? I am leaning towards the dragon but the corgi looks cool to. Does the bomb bay doors opean on th corgi to? The b-52 looks good next to the 17 and the 29, seen a 52 up close a few years back mean lean bombing machine.
