B-17 F FLying Fortress Airplane

B-17 F Flying Fortress Airplane Kit

The heavy American bomber B-17 is without a doubt one of the symbols of W.W. 2. Used from 1941 by 8th air fleet and the RAF, this heavy four-engined bomber seemed an easy target for the German fighter planes. However, the tremendous firing power of up to 11 machine guns in flexible positions or turrets turned the B-17 into a flying fortress. The much improved B-17 F was produced from 1942 until September 1943 when the figure stood at 3405 units. It served successfully until the end of the war. The four Curtis Wright R-1820 engines delivered 1200 PS each. Maximum speed was 480 Km/h, range was 2960 Km, armaments were 13 machine guns and the bomb load was 7850 kg.

In scale 1/72, this B-17 has detailed cockpit, moving turrets and structured surfaces. Moving propellers and separate ailerons. Moving rudder and 10 Mgs. Moving bomb doors and retractable landing gear.
