aAzZ09 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 It's nice to see additional B-17G, 8th A.F. markings. I wonder if there will be any early Y1B-17, or B, C, or D model markings in the future? Mark Fiedler (aAzZ09 IPMS #14333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
