Sweet repaints, Jan Kees! I've always personally loved the 486th BG markings most of any seen on B-17's. There's also something about the lack of nose art that I love on #860. Just a very attractive, relatively general/standard, scheme.

"Miss B.Havin" is nice, somehow yellow just seems to work on the b17 :)
