1/72 B-17F Flying Fortress

This is a 1/72 Scale B-17 F Flying Fortress Plastic Model Kit from Revell. Skill Level 3, For Intermediate Modelers.

The heavy American bomber B-17 is without doubt one of the symbols of WWII. Used from 1941 by the 8th air fleet and the RAF, this heavy four-engined bomber seemed an easy target for the German fighter planes. However, the tre- mendous firing power of up to 11 machine guns in flexible positions or turrets turned the B-17 into flying fortresses. The much improved B-17F was produced from 1942 and served successfully until the end of the war.
