Revell 1/48 B-17g

Yes,If you have ever seen the movie Memphis Belle ,it depicts a rather hair raising incident involving the ball turret.
 
I have the same model...built by my Dad for his cousin, who happened to be a ball turret gunner on a '17 in WWII. Missing ONE prop blade, though:(
 
The aircraft I am building has distinctive red markings.I used Model Master Italian red so that it will "pop".20171031_104048.jpg
 
Loved modeling as a kid .One day I came home from playing after school and my 2 younger brothers were on the roof tossing my airplanes as if they could fly.Let me tell you it was a blood bath till the old man put a ceasefire in effect.I can still picture those 2 little bastards wooping for joy as they crashed to the ground then their cries of terror as the war was on,lol.
 
I hear ya!model vandalism is a serious crime in my book!Put on the horizontal stabs and some of the clear parts.20171101_093207.jpgr
