More B-17Gs and once again, these are Olive Drab over Neutral Grey. Both have the de-icer boots removed from the fin.

The initial option is 'Flak Happy' from the 416th BS/99 BG operating out of Italy in 1944. It has darker Olive Drab on the fin insert and has the dei-icer boots removed from the wings and horizontal stabs as well.

The second scheme is '2nd Patches', with the 346 BS/99 BG. This aircraft has a bare metal fin and rudder (though I thought the rudder was fabric but I may be wrong). The nose turret and fairing need to be painted red before applying the shark-mouth decals.

Insignia and stencils for one of the options, with wing fuel filler markings for both. The instruction sheet includes an excellent stencil guide.
