Revell of Germany B-17F Memphis Belle Plastic Model Kit

Alles super !!!!!!!

This 1/48th scale Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress is faithful in its detail. No collection of American WW II bombers could be complete without this famous aircraft.

Bellissimo modello , non semplice da montare ma molto ben particolareggiato per essere in scala 1/72 .

Good level of difficulty. Great decals.

In decades of building model aircraft this is one of the best kits I’ve ever come across in terms of quality and value for money. I bought this kit as a project to keep me busy during lockdown and was expecting something comparable to the Airfix B-17. In fact, this is far superior. The interior detail is fabulous, hence my decision to build this as a ‘cutaway’ model so that this can be shown off. The model comes with a very detailed decal set that takes time and patience to apply but produces great looking results. The detailing is as good as it possibly can be without photo-etched parts. Both the detailing on the plastic mouldings and the level of detail on the decals are superior to much more expensive kits I’ve built. If I have one criticism it’s that the guns are easily broken off but that’s due to the scale and it was easy enough to substitute thin wire for the original plastic. One thing I would recommend is to go through the instructions thoroughly before starting, as the order specified is not always the most logical. I enjoyed this kit so much that I’m actually considering buying it again and building the alternative ‘Shamrock Special’ version.
