Hmm maybe. It was alot easier to build when you could display it on your bedroom ceiling.

I remember building several 1/72 scale Monogram bomber kits…
B-17 Fortress - believe it or not, I tried to replicate the shot up version (Shep Paine?) Used heated nail points to create bullet holes on fuselage.
B-52 Stratofortress
B-26 Marauder
B-15 Mitchell. I do recall building the 1/68th scale Mitchell as well.
The only Monogram bomber kit I never did was the B-24 Liberator. Shocking, I know…….

Cool! I do like the B-17, such a great looking aircraft.
I've still yet to build a four-engined bomber... not even a Lancaster...
