As I am sure most here are already aware... The Collings Foundation has acquired B-17 44-83785 from the Evergreen collection and intends to return her to flight! Very exciting news! http://www.warbirdradio.com/2015/07/special-report-collings-foundation-reaches-deal-with-evergreen/ Sounds like the pl...

Pooner over on WIX has some Bomb Bay door components up for sale.

I have no affiliation, just wanted to give a heads up!

Wow, looks amazing. Nice work.

I think it would be nice to recover, house it in a museum, and and display it in a diorama type setting like the Planes of Fame Betty bomber.

Though I must admit I’d like to get my hands on that 1/32 scale plastic B-17G kit that recently came out. I'd highly recommend it.

Thanks Scott. Another excellent update.

Very nice builds John! Excellent detail and I love the 1/48 Stratoliners!

Fantasy of Flight just posted this on their Facebook page: The Talichet "Memphis Belle" B-17E flew in today to get dolled up for an upcoming documentary on “The Swamp Ghost.” This plane stood in for the real Memphis Belle in the movie as her namesake is under restoration at the USAF museum in Ohio. ...

Awesome stuff Jim, it must have been a great time.

Thanks for the updates, it's been nice to see Lacey Lady getting some attention recently.
