Spotlight Review

 
"A very good B-17F"
pmmaker (Somers, CT)
This was a really nice model to put together. Some interior detailing, especially around the nose made for a very presentable model. The top gun turret was difficult to align with the fuselage halves, but the results are very well worth the effort. Multiple sets of markings was a plus too as you can choose one of several planes to make. I choose Memphis Belle. The instruction sheet is easy to follow and shows the painting colors and decal placement information clearly. A very good kit for a more experienced builder.
