Re: B17G's NMF ?
Alex. I now think the first unpainted VEGA B-17G was the last G-15-VE in the block, 42-97535 ( "Bouncing Betty II" 457BG) which was bare metal; the previous B-17G 42-97534 was camouflaged ( "Patches" a PFF H2X originally 482BG then 413BS --with 303's triangle "C" ---then 452BG). 42-97532 ( 482 PFF) was also OD / NG ( to 305BG as JJ-V with plain white triangle).
The subsequent block was G-20-VE, the first being 42-97536 ( "Fargo Express 463BG) this and the following planes were unpainted. So this block apparently unpainted.
Hope this makes sense.
Nick
