And a Digby, too! We can start singing the North Atlantic Squadron!

AND a C-58!

Great to see this uncommon u-boat killing workhorse finally getting its place on the ramp.

Have to buy one of these. Got to climb all over the B-18 at Castle Air Museum in Atwater, CA. Can't wait to see this kit.

Boloians,

I just returned from the Air Force Museum. They have a B-18 on display mounted slightly above the floor. I took a couple of dozen pix inside the open bomb bay, wheel wells, etc.
