I keep hearing about a Koster  1/48  B-17D conversion kit but I can't
find any references. Does/did this kit exist?

Are there any other 1/48 B-17D conversion kits out there?

Of course a 1/48 B-17D kit would be great but that would make too much
sense.  :-)

Here's the one I did about 3 years ago:

It was a lot of work but it turned out pretty good.

Bill Koster also sells his kits, conversions & detail parts by mail order.
I used to order stuff from him when he lived in massachusetts, but he has
since moved out west, Illinois I believe.  Unfortunately I don't have his
current address or know if he has a website.
