Wow. Its amazing what a coat of paint can do. That is such a beauty, also being unique from the cookie-cutter pain scheme when it comes out of the box

One of our club members took a HK B-17, and repainted it to a coastal command one, very nice. Flew it off a frozen lake last weekend, very impressive low passes. Great work Marc!

She looks beautiful and way different then usual B17s we see most of the time., Glad maiden went well. It's always good to get better MG servos on the tail end for security and insurance reasons...

From the info I found the pic by Wells of the B17 (apparently taken at Dorval ) is the one I will be doing but I think in Britain it was re-painted with the white moved up the sides as per standard coastal comand as the other pictures of that squadron all show white up the sides.

Yorcram, it will be great to see your B17 re-done in one of RCAF's B17s, I'm also be going to be doing a B17 in RCAF in fore-some future, it will be great to see few Canadian RC B17s flying around for a change, it's always great to build a different subject then what is seen mostly all the time at flying fields and events.
