An early B-17: before the Flying Fortress became a legend!
Does a B-17 Flying Fortress really need to be presented in modelling circles? Probably not, if it is a representative of the thousands of E, F or G versions built, but very well, if one is faced with the early variant B-17B as in this [...]

B-17 F Hasegawa, 94BG.
As you may remember, my last project was the B-17 G Airfix. Before the model was completely finished, I had the opportunity to buy the Hasegawa B-17 F on a rather occasional basis. The model of this company quite faithfully reflects the [...]
B-17G from Białogóra. B-17G Airfix Bachelor's Bride from 91 BG project .
This time I will not describe the spectacular stories of the plane. My emotional connection with the Boeing B-17 comes from my vacation days at the seaside. A few years ago I discovered in the seaside town of Białogóra an information [...]
Academy B-17F: Mediterranean Ferret
