Excellent work Iron Mike! I struggled to get the right colours of green on my B-17's, but it looks like those days are finally over The new shades of green you've used really set these apart from the crowd. **edit - although I have to admit that they look very authentic in black and white.) /edit**

And, something I've never seen before - B-17 F's and B-17 G's in the same formation!!! Really impressive Looking forward to seeing the rest!

Chompy

Wow!

Chompy Sir!

Are you going to return to the fold?

24bit skins certainly do make the differance, don't they.

Duh...uh...mamumm....Chompy! abba...ah...

The second vic in the 481th's box is finished...

I remember a discussion with Chompy when he skinned a B-17 with a bare-metal replacement wing. A beautiful skin, but I said that the whole squadron would feature this wing in EAW which would look strange imo.

These days are over, obviously - congrats, Mike

Which variations would be possible within a B-17 squadron? I notice you skinned some re-painting of damaged parts which adds alot to the immersion. Btw, did bare-matal and olive drab versions fly side by side?

Hi Fran Zee.

During late 44 they did fly mixed versions. Both fighters and bombers by this time new production aircraft lost the green camo, in favor of ally finish.

Fran, Col Gibbin look at these photos, from several oop books...

Yeah, those mixed formations are looking gorgeous.

To be honest, I´d prefer the silver birds - they´re a better aim for my eyes

Not to worry gentlemen, the 349th and 350th Bomb Groups will be silver B17Gs and complete the 100th.

The 418th is finished. Next comes the 351st to finish the 24-bit Mid-War B17 Group.
