Good looking model.
Scroll down to find the Squadron/nose band color chart. Green is correct for your plane.

Cheers for that Barry; Airfix give blue or green as options but for the same scheme otherwise so it's nice to know I chose correctly!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments :grin:
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

This really has turned out well Iggie, you've managed a great NMF and the exhaust staining has added the final bit of realism as most B-17's displayed it to some extent or another - I note you've remembered to apply staining to the tailplanes, I've seen a few modellers miss that but it did occur on the Fortress.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!
