Collings Foundation B-24 and B-17 air-to-air back in 1998
These shots of the Collings Foundation B-24 in its "All American" markings and the B-17G "9-0-9", were taken during a tour of Los Angeles in 1998. Sadly, they're the last air-to-air shots photographers are likely to [...]
Pacific Fortress-a Big 'un...
Done about 4 years ago, was this Monogram 1/48 Fort. This represents a Boeing B-17F that flew in that other theatre, the Pacific. It survived 101 or so missions including skip-bombing and strafing, to be returned home to be put out to a [...]
Academy 1/72 B-17F

B-17G “Chow Hound” Revell 1/48
This plane was my third official build and it was and still is my favorite build, but the b-26 will probably surpass this plane for the favorite build spot once I finish it.
This plane was my first real attempt at painting according to [...]
1/48 PB-1W Conversion
