Repaint for the A2A WoP2 B-17G representing B-17G-35-DL 42-107091 "Forbidden Fruit" of the 728th BS, 452nd BG, Deopham Green as it looked in the spring of 1944. "Forbidden Fruit" flew a total of only 9 missions, its first on 10 April 1944, and it's last just 40 days later, on 20 May 1944. After suffering severe flak damage on a "milk run" over Belgium, "Forbidden Fruit" crash landed at it's home base, and was declared salvage.
I dedicate this to the memory of the "Forbidden Fruit" tail gunner who lost his life on that fateful last mission, S/Sgt John R Tinker.
Repaint by Will "dafraz48" Turner, based on the A2A paint kit, October 2015.
