Fortress in the Sky: The B-17 at 90

Seems like a fairly easy choice to me, but up to you. Welcome aboard in either event!

the bros are offering the HK 1/32 version in their lightning deals today, just sayin’…

The sale price is what I paid for my ‘G’ brand new years ago.

As the clock ticks slowly to the start of this campaign, anyone want to have a crack at designing an award?

Michael :israel: :stuck_out_tongue:

I think we are in the midst of a bit of an award medal crisis here on the forums. I have a completed campaign with no award proposed. Seems like we need to develop some individuals with artistic ability - no airbrush or pigments required!

What campaign?

Edit: Oh. I see. Skids, Skis, and Floats.

Well, let’s see if we can take a stab at trying to fix it.

Here’s my first attempt. Better ideas welcome!

B-17 campaign award first try

That looks very good

May try a 1/72 Academy kit, I have decals for ‘Ye Ole Pub’ or whatever the name of the bomber in Adam Makos’s book. I will have a better idea once I find out our club’s 2025 schedule. Looking forward to getting that kit into the Build pile.

Looks good with the medal, Michael! I think I will try Eduard’s B-17 “Bloody hundredth” for this campaign.

I’ve had a B17 1:72 Revell for sometime, this is a great help to set a build in motion finally.

The newer (21st century) one, Joe, or the very old one?

Very very old a rebox from 1991. Only in the modelling world is my procrastination so evidently exposed.

Wow, there’s a classic! I seem to recall building that one more than once, and long before 1991.

Oh dear!

Happy Chrismukkah to me! Looks like my plans for this campaign have suddenly changed.

Can’t pass up this opportunity.

I’ve not done a plane for decades and am more than rusty in the business. But to do a B-17 is tempting. And :slight_smile: coincidentally, I have the early B-17G from HKM here to build “Little Miss Mischief”.

Looking to be a good campaign.
Once I’ve got that B-25 finished I’ll have a chance to make a start on this. I’m still undecided as to which I’ll do.
