Thanks guys. Was an impulse idea when browsing stash. Saw kits sitting there and made the connection. Same as most my other builds.
Were some paint from hell moments that slowed progress. Wing edge landing lights of Revell kit need filing fussing to fit.
Building OOB C-47 to park next to is a display option. Lift & power difference will show well. C-47 fuselage being shorter, lighter, sleeker than B-17 translates to more payload than a B-17 carries. Finishing in time to start on Allies '46 GB. Though like said, C-47H qualifies as Allies '46 aircraft.
