Gotta love those old Monogram kits!
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!"..
Re: The Monogram B-17G
First kit I ever saw. I was hooked instantly… maybe I should finish mine in 2025

Sounds like a splendid idea!

Re: The Monogram B-17G
I’ve built 2 so far…. Both are no longer with us…. 
I suppose it’s time for a 3rd…

Re: The Monogram B-17G
Hmm maybe. It was alot easier to build when you could display it on your bedroom ceiling.

Re: The Monogram B-17G
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…….

Re: The Monogram B-17G
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...
