Any Armour B-17 Pictures?

Gudgey · 04-05-2004, 02:38 PM

Hi all,
I was thinking that there should now be a few of FM's B-17s around, so could anyone post some pictures? I'm not bothered which one but some detail shots would be nice. I would really like a good look at one before buying, but my local dealer understandably, will not get one in just to look at.
Another question, I've noticed that new FM models are being shipped without the canopies attached, why is that? Are the cockpits so detailed that FM wants to show them off or is it a shipping issue?
Anyway if anyone can post some pics they would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Gudgey.

Besides the Armour B-17's, FM also released a couple B-17's a while ago in the 1/96th scale. I have Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby, which was released circa 1993, and Memphis Belle which was released only a couple years ago. I can never get enough B-17's, so it's great to see all the Corgi's and Armour's coming out.

I'm currently at school in DC and my home is in Ohio, but I'll make sure to get some pics of the 1/96th scale B-17's when I get the chance to go home.

Thanks TL925, I really wanted to see pics of the new 1/48 B-17's, but pics of the older 1/96 scale models would be cool. I didn't even know they were made.
