Need references for the B-17 Gunship, the YB-40!

Well I'll be. Looks like what I've got you have already except for one picture showing a side-view of th YB-40 from a B-17 magazine. I'll bring it next meeting.

With regards to decals, I think Tony is the man to talk to.

Parked YB-40, how about opening the ball turret (Man, at 1/72, it's gonna be tough but you can do it.

About my Memphis Belle, I've not started yet with the nose surgery.

Thanks, nkm! I knew i could count on you! It's good that there's another B-17 fanatic in the Philippines! how's your project going? It's the memphis belle with the correct window placement, right?

I'm thinking about building this ship:

But i can't get a good picture of it or its serial number... and then there's the matter of how to make the decals...

Allan has graciously agreed to help me in scratchbuilding and modifying certain parts... so i'm going to drop the flaps, ailerons and elevators, open the hatches, and maybe even remove the cowl on one of the engines... What else can i do a parked YB-40? I don't think i want to do battle damage just yet...

Ok shrikes. I'll dig into my files and I'll see what I can come up with.

Thanks Pingtang! I've also gone through the first 3 or 4 pages of a simple google search... but i'll need more! Any info is helpful!

After a quick google search, I found these links:
