Hi Col. Rohr,

this kit will be very (!) hard to be found. I think i built mine around 20 - 25 years ago! And since then i have never seen this version of the kit on any model show i visited since then.

I wish you luck to get one!

Thomas

Besides the 17 did they make any others I seem to recall two others I think the B-29 and B-24.
Wasn't there a Mustang in 1/32 as well?

Definitely the Mustang! One of these days I may even build the one I have! I don't remember a Clear-sided 29 or 24.

BTW, Revell has brought the 1/32nd P-51 Mustang with the see-through sides back into production:

As for the B-17 Visible, Ebay does sell a few about every week, but most go for about 150 USD.

there are antique model clearing houses around, surfing the web will help locate them. also pick up issues of scale modeler or fine scale modeler magazines, look in the classified section, + all the top hobby shops in the u.s. are listed in back of fine scale modeler. good luck tom
