Well, I finally found the elusive Testors B-17 models at Michele's craft store in Orillia, Ontario. They had three in stock.
They were $27 Can dollars. I used a 40% off coupon and paid $16 for one.
The next time I am in Orillia I plan to bring two more coupons and buy the other two bombers.
Although I haven't played in a while, they are just so iconic. With the custom card designed by Snippersly/Usurper and Outpost Eagle I expect to invite my son to a classic "Bombers over Germany scenario" as soon as the bomber pilots are trained ( and I have been back to Orillia)
Pics were previously posted when other members discovered this cool aftermarket bomber. I can't post pics
Are they so elusive that we should be buying them when found so that other members can buy them from us (plus the cost of shipping)? I have seen these at the Michael's store around my city, but I have three B-17s now -- plenty to do my raid on Berlin game. But I would happily pick up others if there was a need...

Those who don't remember their history are bound to do something or other...
I have continually modified, updated, playtested the rules / cards for my B-17 fleet. PM your email address and I'll send you the scanned in .pdf file. GHlad to know someone else out there tried them out!
