B-17 P&W XT-34 Test Bed conversion

Yark Resin Kits is to release a 1:48 scale resin conversion set for the B-17 used as a Pratt & Whitney XT-34 engine test bed

I still need to update the instructions for the HK Model kit components, and I'd also like to include a set of window masks. Once that work is completed, I'll begin taking and shipping orders.

Watch for the updated order form, which will be posted here in the coming days.

My plan is to offer these products through Facebook and email orders first, with eBay listings to follow at a later date.

The production version of the XT-34 became the powerplants for the Douglas C-133 Cargomaster and the Boeing YC-97J Stratofreighter, which became the Aero Spacelines Super Guppy.
