That PE is a lot better looking compared to the kit.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Re: 1/72 Academy B-17F Memphis Belle
Curious...what are those PE chutes by engine cowls for? I’ve got the same kit as well. I have a bunch of AM stuff on my wish list on Scalehobbyist sight for some time now until I’m ready to do it. Mainly tires an PE.

I'm assuming that they're cooling vents of some sort. They're open like this on the real thing.

Something to do with the superchargers maybe?
Awesome PE work, that's going to look fantastic under paint!

Almost makes me want to get this PE set. Almost.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

It's hard to get. It was always "out of stock" everywhere. Got lucky and found it in stock and grabbed it.
