This kit has very nice detail and is a wonderful platform for using after market decals.

Beautiful Belle

By: cclem8441 (Savannah, Ga)

I have built this kit 3 times in my life. It always reminds me of time with my father, this was the first skill level 2 model I ever built, it was crushed by the family cat 8 months later. Its a great easy built. Great detail, easy to follow instruction and very descriptive, that should make this fun for anyone at the beginner level. Everything matches up beautifully and falls right together.

Ahh, the legendary Memphis Belle

By: apbar100

Superb interior details. Nice construction and fit; fully engraved panel lines and rivets; you can manually operate the ball-turret; great features; maybe one of the best B-17 in the market today. I haven't built mine yet -saving the best for last :) The kit doesn't include pilot figures but if you're interested, they're available from another brand - a crew set of 10 figures (pilots, engineers and gunners) designed for B-17 1/72 models. I wish Hobbylinc would carry the product. I watched/read the Memphis Belle story and fell in love with this piece of WW2 machine.
