I share with you some photos of a Boeing B-17 bomber with an exotic and unusual camouflage. Does anyone know if this plane entered service and what the function of this painting? I count on your visit.

You know very well the identity of this aircraft and its purpose. You have posted these photos before.

Marcelo, some friends of mine, the Scale Knights, a modellers club from Basel/Switzerland, have built several of these Assembly Ships in 1/72 and have shown them on various expos around Switzerland and Germany. Also the "Spotted Cow". I've seen these kits on several occasions. Really impressive!
Have a look here:

Happy modelling!
