Hey Art Horning is my great grandpa and in his honor I would like to make a scale replica of the b-17G he flew over Munster. I would like to know any markings I could use on the RC variant I will make. Also can someone provide a color photograph or close drawing so I can get the colors right. Thanks in advance.
