I need what has now become desperate help in seeking information on a B-17G Flying Fortress.
I am currently gathering as much information as possible regarding detail for a scratch built 1/24th 100% scale model of the bomber that I am building out of Aluminium. I have detail pictures of the interior plus exterior but a vital bit of info I’m missing and is holding back the start of the model is detail 3 view or blue prints of the structure of the airframe. This is very important to the construction of the model as the skin will be removable for viewing purposes. I have contacted various B-17 Trusts around the world with an explanation to what I’m doing and what I need but still wait for them to reply.
So, I thought on the off chance, would anyone on here know how I could obtain copies of manuals with structual detail in or where I could get blue prints of the airframes structure from? Plus, if anyone has anything they may think might be of use to me regarding referance to building this rather large model, could you please let me know as I am interested in anything B-17G at the moment.
Thank you in advance
Rob 😉
