Ok gang, here is the start of someones b-17 project. Cubic money to follow. Seriously, this would be neat to have.

For any of those that are interested, the final outcome of the eBay auction for this grouping was $2,326.99.

No one will ever convince me that the economy is doing poorly when people have this kind of money to spend on something like this.

If anybody knows who bought this I would like to buy it from them. Thanks tom

Just got an email from the seller, It says the buyer is donating it to the airforce museum. Too bad it wont go on an airplane now.

And what is the Air Force Museum going to do with it?

Probably stick it in a filing cabinet and forget about it, that is until someone comes across it and sticks it in their pocket.

That was pretty much my guess as well.

An interesting development has occured, in that the high bidder has failed to make payment and it is now being offered at half the price.

This could also just be a scam.

sure sounds like a scam but worth checking out.
