(...) But 27 B-17 Flying Fortresses…. That’s like half of the bombers heading to Schweinfurt on Black Thursday.
Damn, that's a statement!
That’s almost half as many as were lost that day… not counting write offs that did make it back to England.

Cool. I already started my build for this Group Build: the C-123. I'll hopefully have pics up soon.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.
I've finished what I believe will be all the resin bits I'll use on the 32 Ford. I will begin printing all this stuff Monday. It looks like a lot but I fill my build plates with as much as I can as it takes just as long to print only a few parts vs a ton of them. So, I plan ahead. I will be doing a resin engine, transmission, frame and wheels and tires for this build. Perhaps more, but not planned right now. Here is a view of the last of 3 build plates ready for printing.
