Ok if I offer a suggestion to the 17s since you are doing them Kev?

I'd hate to see it end up being an all 8th AF line up so here's a couple of high mission OD/Gray 17Gs from the 15th AF if you are so inclined

No probs Dan -

Few questions
1) Pic below shows what I have found is typical tail setup.
2) Is serial number solid or stencil
3) Mission markings one side, nose art on the other?

Would help if you can confirm these before I go any further. (ignore poor quality, been resized too many times)

From what I can tell the serial is solid. Nose art on left, no bomb symbols. Photo only shows the nose art on that side.

Great stuff Kev as always. Nice to see the 15th represented. Now about that 454th BG, 15th AF B24....

If only they would do something about the mission skins, I would make sure your B17s would feature.
