Thanks Carlos. My go to paints are Vallejo, but for the khaki green, I've found a WW2 set of AK paints which have sprayed really nicely.

I've been looking at trying those AK acrylics when I can find some. Nice to hear some firsthand feedback on them. Their Real Color line is fabulous for airbrushing when thinned with Mr Leveling Thinner.

Really cool diorama. Looks very realistic due to the shadows cast by the figures.

@Живко Джаков Thanks! I was lucky to get a guided tour of Thorpe Abbotts on a visit to many of the airfield museums across Norfolk and Suffolk early in 2023. This was before I even learned of the Hanks / Spielberg production. I admit to finally kicking off my B-17 builds in unison with the release of the TV Series but a good few months prior to this I read Donald L Miller's book "Masters of the Air" which was absolutely brilliant. I was therefore, really looking forward to the series. I too had to watch it twice, not however, because it was good, but because I couldn't believe it could be so bad! They really missed a trick here, it was poorly paced, badly edited with a very jumbled storyline and lots of nonsense. I felt nearly as disappointed as when I watched "Pacific" after "Band of Brothers". I feel they should have used bits of the excellent follow-up documentary - as they did with Band of Brothers. Do read the book if you haven't already, it fills in so many of blank spaces left by film.
As for aircraft numbers, they can always be confusing and misreported ... I found this set also only came with one "X". To be honest, it looks close enough for me and no one would probably even have noticed if I'd used the B-17F decals which would have saved me £££ on an Academy kit I don't like and decals which are apparently not that accurate 😉
