B-17G - Flying Fortress Classic
This B-17G model kit is a Monogram, now Revell-Monogram, classic. It is a huge model that is fun to build. The kit has been around for a long time and is the only 1/48 scale kit available of this magnificent World War II bomber. The interior, engines, guns, and landing gear have plenty of detail for the novice and expert modeler alike. The kit also includes a bomb cart, 4 bombs and a few aircrew figures for display purposes.

A nice brochure with photos and tips on how to build a diorama is also included if one desires to make a diorama to display the finished model.

Magnificent detail and scale presence of the legendary Flying Fortress
I am so glad the old Monogram kit was reissued by Revell-Monogram.

At first glance, this kit is daunting. It's complexity and wealth of details are amazing. This kit is much more complicated than just add glue and shake the box.
The 26-inch wing will force the use of glue clamps. I had spoken of the utility of glue clamps in the review of Testor's SR-71, but this kit demands them. The interior bulkheads were a concern; I remembered the early Monogram efforts in the 1960's with fuselage halves not fitting flush, just to accomodate a single cockpit bulkhead - fit was SUPERB, however. Be forewarned that the fuselage joining will require intense concentration; all those interior components have to fit just-so for a seamless closure. Watch where you place your fingers because of the many...
B17 Revell Model
this model is very well done details, easy, and pretty durable. Make sure you follow all the directions because i mixed up on some. The bad thing is how the directions are written for two thing its says for you to build but not how to put it in good thing is the two turrets are easy to put in. Overall well done model and good Durability
