Want to see a bunch of near-1/18 B-17s?

Neat event at Bomber Field (near Houston) next weekend June 4-6th.

I have been going for a few years to their B-17 gatherings and it is just awesome to see a bunch of near 1/18 scale B-17s flying around.

Here is some info on upcoming events.

Take some 1/18 troops/pilots and vehicles out to one of these events and see if they will let you do a photo shoot with their planes.
That would be quite a diorama to beat!

Get some of these guys interested in 21s's and FOV's 18th vehicles and figures and see what happens to this scale. 8)
Ten years on I'm still amazed how many modelers have not heard of either company. :roll:
