"A thing of beauty is a joy to behold." This is the work of a craftsman. How many hours have you dedicated to this project? When I fly it I will try not to bend it!

(or let anybody put nasty holes in it)

Thanks!

From my part around 30 months off and on. Off while waiting for official documents to arrive. Countless of hours perusing photos, drawings, manuals, books and film. Close friends visiting existing B24's with tape measure and camera in hand. Countless emails to museums, restoration projects and collectors of old manuals.

For me it's next to impossible to even guess how many hours. For Buster, it's been a longer ride.

Hope everyone enjoys it when its released.

have you any desire to do B17 after end work of the B24?
there you can use some materials from B24, textures, models ...

I feel, that on the day, when a B-17 is flyable in IL-2, its the day of the end of the game.
I mean... as long as we are all waiting for something, it can't end.

there is one person who was involved in B 17 ( and DT has contacted with him ), but now it seems gave up it (((

it would be great if Monguse with his friend continue work on B17

but it's a lot of work

Too bad... looks like a good start.
