(...) 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.

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.

Wow, I missed this one. You design those parts yourself Brandon? That is quite a bit of good looking stuff.

No, I bought the files on Cults3D. I have all this printed off and waiting for me to clean them up and get this build going. I have so many "in progress" builds on the bench that I am pushing to clear and then start on this one. I do have a hard start deadline for myself on this one of July. I have to make sure I get this one done this year for sure. I hope to start on it soon.

Thomas, I'd like to jump in also. Maybe it will help me get my mojo back. Looking at John's list the one that said build me was the old Italeri Su-22 in 1/72. Put me down for that.

I’m in with this kit…
I’ll start a separate WIP thread here.
