of Germany B-17F Memphis Belle Plastic Model Kit

Very good quality. I will enjoy the detail of the build.

This is a highly detailed model both inside and out. I am about 80% complete and so far so good. The interior was a bit slow going but that was because I added a 10 man crew and each one had to be customized for it's station and not because of the model itself. The instructions however are a bit limited and I ended up referring to the online instructions for it's sister model Revells B-17G 1/72 #5861 which were almost exactly the same but much more detailed (actually saved me from missing a critical step). This kit includes a lot of extra parts that you could use to customize for several different variations of the "F" model which is nice. Other then referring to the instructions for the #5861 the other tip that might be helpful to some is this. The highly detailed interior sections are built mainly outside the fuselage separately then installed one by one. Each time you are ready to install a new section of the interior (there are 5 sections) test it to be sure the two halves of the fuselage fit together before glueing the section in. It may require a little very light sanding to allow for a clean fit of the fuselage halves because the clearances are very precise/tight.

Great item, overpriced

Wonderful quality and price. Enjoyed making this

Almost too detailed. My big, clumsy fingers had trouble with some of the smaller parts, but man, this builds a beautiful model. Comes with parts to make several different versions of the B-17F. I would recommend getting after market white metal landing gear. The kit gear is fragile and fiddly. Also, the instructions say to install part #27 in step 19. I recommend not installing it until after step 44, and the fuselage halves are joined.

Incredible detail inside the fuselage and with parts to be added. Very nice panel lines, but slightly deep. Lot's of parts, if you're new to modeling this may not be the kit for you. But, if you're experienced, this is an exceptional kit. Buy it, it's worth the price, but don't plan to do it on a weekend. This model will take you several hours to build and paint.

Everything was great except for instruction sheet. So many languages the print on the English was hard to read. Color instructions were less than helpful.

Dentro de los modelos a escala de 1/72 para el B-17 F, este modelo de Revell hace la diferencia con los otros modelos de otros fabricantes. Si bien es cierto los hay de otros tamaños (1/48 y 1/32) de fabricantes diferentes, en escala 1/72 puede considerarse este de Revell entre los mejores. Por supuesto sería ideal mayor detalle en su interior y eventualmente, una de las partes del fuselaje que fuesen transparentes. Así los incautos, podrían descubrir a uno de los iconos históricos de la aviacion en todo su esplendor. Muy satisfecho.
