b17c

You're pretty much restricted to bare metal or the olive drab over gray scheme for USAAF aircraft - or the standard RAF day bomber scheme of dark green/dark earth over sky or gray for the 20 B-17Cs operated by the Brits as Fortress Is.

A google image search on "boeing B-17c" will turn up a dozen or so decent photos of the beast.

Cheers,

There's also the RAF Coastal Command scheme of sky undersides/ fuselage sides/ vertical tail with dark sea grey/ dark green camo upper surfaces.

i didn't have the boeing. but i had forgotten the fortress one. screw the rest, where do i find decals? and yes, i'm a britophile.

better and better. i do love the coasties. i'm still building the wimpey with the picket fence radar.

FWIW That color scheme should read Dark Slate Gray/Extra Dark Sea Gray over Sky. Note that the color Dark Slate Gray was actually a dark grayish Green color.

E;

In that case, you might want to go looking for the Academy B-17E issue with the coastal command markings. The aircraft depicted in the decals with the kit was a double U-Boat killer.

well, i already have the c.

I don't have the rest of this thread but the 'C' did go on missions for the RAF in the usual day bomber scheme - Dark Brown/Dark Green over Sky. If I repeated someone else's post, I'm sorry. Please don't hit me.
