Hey Toshi, great job on that huge bird.  Forts have a special place in my heart due to my father being in one during WWII.  I really like the color scheme on this one.

Again, great job, and thanks for posting your builds.

Your friend,

Thank you ManCityFan aka Dman.  I know Flying Fortresses are very special and close to your heart due to your father being on one during WWII.  He was a very brave man, a very brave man to step into a B-17.  And I thank him for that.  If I recall correctly he was a ball turret gunner under the belly of the B-17.  Please correct me if I’m wrong!  That is just amazing, almost unbelievable what he and that crew did.

I’m Glad you like the color scheme of the B-17G called “Chow Hound” My heart was set on OD as I already owned a NMF Visible Monogram 1/48 B-17G Flying Fortress.

It is always my pleasure posting my builds.  That’s how I learned.  So I want to thank you for sharing the story of your dad with me as well as FSM Forum  Members.  I also want to thank you DMan for always supporting my builds over the last couple of years.

Your friend, Toshi
