Thanks to the men of the 63rd Bomb Squadron,43rd Bomb Group,5th AAF, who flew B-17 SN 124554, The Mustang, out of Port Morsby, New Guinea in 1942-43 for their service and especially to Ed Gammill for his help in giving 1st hand information and detailing for this model.

Very nice looking model. But give us some details. What scale/wingspan? Materials? A flyer? Inquiring minds want to know.

1/16 scale. 6 1/2' wingspan. Mostly balsa. Display model. It was the first time I had modeled since about 1960. Took about 2 years. Learned some new stuff, but after all that, there's no way I would let it end up like the fliers of my long ago youth.Trying to get the build pictures uploaded, but I do better with models than with the computer

1/16? Excellent! I have a Cleveland 3/4" B-17 that I am waiting to better my skills before I tackle it. This gives some great inspiration.

I see some pretty impressive skills demonstrated in your hangar. My next one is a Dave Diels C-46 Commando. I started to get the 1/16 to match my others, but dropped to 1/32 when I realized it would be bigger than the 17. Running out of room.
