Hello Capt. R.
You've done a wonderful job representing a B17 that took part in the Frantic shuttle missions in 1944. Congratulations!
I understand your search for 1/72 figures.😄
You chose the Academy model for this construction. This model has been my favorite for a long time, although the list of details to be revised is large. The ultimate 1/72 B17 model doesn't yet exist, but the important thing is to enjoy yourself. I wish you every success in your modeling, especially if the Flying Fortress is your favorite aircraft. I've built twelve of them, and two more are on my workbench.
Monomaniac, me?🤣
Regards from France,
Bob-Snafu35
