OK you all, I think I have found a new B-17 1875mm for the price same price of what I can get the Flightline B-24 for. I really love the B-17 but the B-24 seems to be a better model with better engines/esc, gear etc. Should I wait and hope for a better V3 of the B-17 and get the B-24 or just get the B-17?

The B-17 has a few QC issue's but I wouldn't rule it out. It flies better then the B-24 in my opinion and is way more forgiving on bad landings. Yes, it can tip over on landing on grass and tends to spin the strut if you don't have two lock screws on it, but it can fly out of the box as good as the B-24. Motor mount screws loosing is another constant maintenance item, but other then that she can do it.Don't just fly--WREAK HAVOC!!!

I had been waiting a while for the silver version to come back in stock at HK (US warehouse). When it did recently, I jumped on it and it was delivered TODAY! So I get on HK site for giggles and... they just dropped the price $45!!!
Now it's $329.99 shipped to your door, US warehouse! Best price I've seen on it, so if you've been waiting to get this big bird, now might be the time.

I got my silver v2 in last week. i assembled and made sure everything worked as it should then immediately tore it back down for paint prep. I figured since its silver i would just go with the Bit O Lace livery. I like the yellow tail, and figured it would be the most visable livery in the air.
Exterior paintwork done i believe. I have decals on the way from callie, i have the FW B17 main gear to install and the BF109 tail retract to install. I also plan on adding interior lights and pilots, as well as moving the elev/rud servo so i can make the ball turret move.
Im pretty excited to have this one added to my fleet.
Im no expert modeler by any means, im just a hobbiest giving it my best shot and enjoying them in the air.
