Re: 1/48th Monogram B17G Flying Fortress
hi that is a nice build and great weathering just one thing on the main crew door on the rear fuselage it needs a strap to hold it open
as you look at the inside the door it is at the top right hand corner of the door to the upright of the g near the angle
cheers simon
