Sorry about that; I'm mixed on whether masking or decals is better, my homemade decals tend to fray on the edges .... I'll have to figure something out, I have 3 B-24 assembly ships to do (sometime) ....

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Let's hope you don't have the same problem. Where I masked the windows with Tamiya tape I had no bleed, so fingers crossed for you, yours should be OK.

That's quite nice, Greg, but I was thinking more along the lines of a water tanker.

This is the only airworthy B-17F.

Nice sheets. Tankers or a TWA B-17, which is interesting because B-17s (as far as I know) were never licensed to carry passengers.

That is a pity Ian after all that effort. Hopefully you can resurrect it in due course with a new paint and markings scheme.
