I loved this kit. Back in the day it was my first attempt at a serious
kit. Imagine going from the old 1/72 Matchbox kits to this one.

The dioramam making brochures that came with these in the original issue
were awesome.

Nicely done, Steve! Also one of my faves...

This was also my first 'serious' build - I puttied the seams, used an airbrush to paint it, and all those little decals were a pain. I proudly hung it from the ceiling in my room. One night my brother and I were wrestling and he swung a sleeping bag at me as I lay on the floor... It hit the '17 and I watched it fall to the floor and shatter :(

Very not bad !!

I must have built about a dozen of those over the years, one of my favorite plane kits of all time, I even had the one with the clear hull half.

I still have 2, one of each version in the kit.

Does it still come with the bomb cart and crew members?

Yes it does, but if you get the "visible version" it comes with a slightly enhanced interior..and more crew members...I discovered that two days after I got it for Christmas....DOH!
