This brand new plastic model kit features the Boeing B-17G/Fortress Mk.III Aircraft at Level 3 in 1/72 scale by Airfix. The kit comes in vintage-style, officially licensed packaging and contains 264 detailed parts molded primarily in light gray, unless otherwise indicated. A display stand is not included, and paint and cement are required for assembly. The assembled model measures approximately 12.5 inches in length and 17.25 inches in wingspan, and includes decals to depict the aircraft in two different schemes. The Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress was the final and most heavily armed production variant of the legendary American heavy bomber used extensively during World War II. Introduced in late 1943, the B-17G featured a distinctive chin turret to counter frontal attacks, bringing the total number of .50 caliber machine guns onboard to 13. With a crew of ten, it could fly high-altitude, long-range bombing missions and deliver up to 8,000 pounds of bombs deep into enemy territory, earning a revered place among Allied aircrews for its durability. The B-17G saw significant action over Europe as part of the U.S. Eighth Air Force’s strategic bombing campaign, conducting daylight raids on industrial targets, airfields, and transportation hubs while facing fierce opposition from flak and Luftwaffe interceptors. Under the Lend-Lease program, some B-17Gs were transferred to the Royal Air Force as Fortress Mk.III, serving in coastal command and electronic warfare roles, including maritime patrols and radar-jamming missions. This 1:72 scale model meticulously captures the aircraft’s design, armament, and historical significance, making it ideal for collectors and aviation enthusiasts who wish to honor the bravery of the crews and the engineering excellence of the “Flying Fortress.”
