I’m looking to see if there is anyone out there that has one of these planes and is looking at letting them go in the future. I know since the line dried up a while back many have decided to get away from the Franklin Mint line. That being said I focused on the B-17s and still have these three outstanding. Let me know if you have one you would consider selling. I’ll be looking to pick one or all up after Christmas.

These are awesome models I hope you find these, I just can't believe I passed on the FM 1/48 B-24 at biglots it was only $15.00 on Black Friday back when 21st was still around!
A helicopter does not want to fly, it just vibrates so much that the ground rejects it

Well I need to complete this collection someday so I thought I would start the process. I love these things but they are lacking in detail. I think their weight makes up for it.

I had good luck with other B-17s here in the past so I thought I would try again.

Detail can be an issue for these, had an He-111 when they first came out, there were several issues with how it was made, but up on a better note, I still had one!
But... Sold it it some lucky guy for little over $50 on evilbay a little while back...

Kevin:
I think I was one who sold you a Nine O Nine awhile back.
Yes they are hard to find these days. I have the two Franklin Mint A-10's from the 111th Fighter Wing, PA Air National Guard they did and I am never giving them up given the 111th was based near where I live. Always thought it was cool they did those two planes from that unit.
Best of luck with your search. Given Franklin Mint was based in this area, sometimes the pieces come up in the local antique and flea market style shops around here. If I happen to see any of these B-17's in my travels I will let you know.

Thanks Corey. That gorgeous Nine-0-Nine is the cornerstone of my collection.

It’s a beautiful plane.
