I've promised to build some kits for a B-17 pilot I met in Sanford yesterday.  His name is Mark Gilles of the 95th BG, 421st Squadron and he did 32 missions over Europe in B-17's.   If you have the Hasegawa, new tool Airfix or Revell B-17G in 1/72 and would like to sell it or swap please bring it to the meeting Sunday.  Same for a 1/144 B-47 or a box scale kit.  He flew them as well as a B-29 but I have that one covered from my stash.  Oh, and the B-17 was beautiful.  Brandon and I crawled through it a few times and took lots of images.  I look forward to seeing yall at the meeting.
