I've had a thread up in the classifieds for a bit now and have received almost no replies other than a few tips to move this request to this topic.
So here goes.....I'm looking for the revell B-17F kit # 4701 Mephis belle. It does not have to be new or even complete, I will take wrecks provided that the nose is intact and all glass pieces are present, or at least the the main nose piece, and side windows are there. I'm trying to convert the G to an F model. I'm in the states. I dont have a lot to spend on this, so I'm hoping for some good fortune. Thanks in advance.

Bid Snipe is a prgram that you can set up to win an auction in the last 30 sec of a bid, just enter your max bid and the snipe will bid automaticly for you.
Just do a search for it on the web, they work great

Yes the collectors do get out of hand. I sold my 1/48th Revell B-17 (the very kit you are looking for) on EBay a little over a year ago. I listed it for $9.95 and it sold for hold on to your hat ...... $147 + shipping. Good luck on getting one a a good price.
