Academy B-17F Flying Fortress "Memphis Belle"

Nothing to dislike

Great kit excellent detail, no flash, fit was perfect.

Enjoyed building this model kit and would do it again in a heartbeat!

I like a lot of things about this model, but mostly its size...17 inch wing span. My initial spray paint of a color similar to the original plane went pretty well, but why can't they be cast in the appropriate color?What i don't like are the terrible directions, and finding the correct part. For some reason i have duplicates of some parts, but they havedifferent part numbers from any of the illustrated diagram of how parts go together.

Terrible waste of money. Poorly designed. Most of the parts do not match up. The fuselage will not join properly. The turrets also cause a problem. The instructions are almost useless. Assembly of some parts are completely omitted. Do not buy!

I’ve bought this model from a local hobby store 7’ish years ago and have sat on it since then. Recently started building it yesterday and there are a few huge problems: 1) the fuselage does not connect well at all, even when using glue and rubber bands, 2) the instructions are 2 pages long and should be disregarded due to how poorly described the illustrations are (will have better success without using the instructions, 3) one of the waist gunners isn’t available since it’s a solid piece of plastic on one side, 4) wings and elevators do not sit flush when trying to glue into place and will eventually droop down a bit or completely fall off before even fully drying, 5) wings have tabs that do not fit into the slots on the fuselage and had to be cut off to make it work, and 6) save the money and just don’t buy this. Buy either Revell or Tamiya if you want a B-17 model kit

Does not say how many pieces it has. Revell has 235 pieces, $64. I have prime I understand the taxes, but I thought being a prime member, I wouldn't need to pay 4 shipping

After more than 50 years of building model aircraft this kit added up to be the most miserable builds yet. Sum it up, if you have to use "super glue" just to keep the top and bottom wing sections together, there is a problem.

El artículo llego antes de lo indicado. Fue un regalo para un amigo y quedó fascinado con el, le gustó mucho.

Alles bestens gerne wieder

Au top , nickel

My partner loves it

かなりざっとしたキットです、古いからか修正は必要です、
