This next sheet is for both the B-17F and B-17G. As with the previous offering, this is a down-sized 1/48 sheet and the recommended kit is the Hasegawa version. In this case, you have two other possible kits to use; the newer Academy version and the much older Airfix variant (at least as far as the G model is concerned.

The B-17F is with the 63 BS/43 BG operating in the Pacific during 1942. This one is OD over light grey and typical of early Pacific war B-17s. The artwork is on the right side and consists of a Disney Pluto.

The G model is 'Sleepy Time Gal' from the 353 BS/301 BG operating out of Italy. Aside from the nose art, this is pretty normal late war B-17G in unpainted metal with OD anti-glare panels.

The sheet includes insignia and markings for both aircraft.
