B-17 Bomber Battle Over Europe - Ep 38 The Plastic General

[@rolfagten857]

The B-17 is indeed beautiful! It could hold many heavy bombs that fell on the Germans! Germany was almost a desert where only bison could graze (Charles Bronson "The Battle of the Bulge" (1965) quote.

[@ThePlasticGeneral]

Scary true.

I shared this with retired Captain Towey, now director of the Royal Regiments museum and Retired Captain Murgoci ex army Intel / infantry and researcher for the regiments history book ' Always Ready ' .....and my mate Ian who I think is your brother from another mother .......same energy .

You're great!! Very Original. Nicely done!!

[@ThePlasticGeneral]

This was a tough one, Thx!

[@jasonyoung5172]

What are the odds of bailing out of your aircraft only to land almost directly on top of it when you hit the ground? General, you should probably join the Golden knight with those mad parachute skills of yours.

[@ThePlasticGeneral]

Next Episode: My Golden Knights training!

[@jordivega2862]

Magnificent plane and the details in every piece are amazing, we can see the interior of the airplane, just beautiful. Sadly The Memphis bull didn't make it. Better luck for the next. 😆

[@ThePlasticGeneral]

It has been restored and is flying again!

[@craigw.scribner6490]

This is around l got to see lots of great WW2 aircraft that my Old man worked on in the Pacific War. A great big thankyou for opening up memories of my dad. And like always you are a really good actor. Love your artwork on the figures and also think you did a great job on the Airstrip with cars and jeeps and utility 🚚 trucks and your Marx groundcrew. So l can't wait until next time old friend and l finally getting my job back so l can help you. So long.

I like FW-190D-9 and 13 , they had unique role in the late war , protecting Me-262 jet fighter during landing and take off
