COBIHistorical Collection WWII Boeing™ B-17F Flying Fortress™ Memphis Belle Aircraft - Executive Edition 49,5x14x66 cm

Birthday gift for my grandson,he loved it!

First I kit purchased created by COBI. Experienced modeler, I was looking for a change of pace. The kit turned out very very nice. This is good sized model and is designed very well. At first glance you wouldn’t even know it’s a bricks model. This isn’t a very hard kit so I would say it’s good for tweens and up. A couple of tough to decipher brick placements and lack of cockpit window pieces (the cockpit is open which is kind of dumb) are my only complaints. Nice distraction from the 1/350 aircraft carrier with photo-etch parts I’ve been slowly building over the year.

Great product: good attention to detail, sturdy construction, and great for bombing Nazis.

Be careful with the guns. Can be easily broken.

Finished off the B-17 since it outlasted my kids attention span over a period of several weeks (10+ hours maybe, I wasn't counting) … had some trouble getting the right fit around where the wing and the fuselage meet, and had to strip a thin layer from where the bomb bay doors are attached to get them to fit right. This made the bomb bay a tight fit for the bombs but my kids 12 and 8 solved that.

Great model but for the price I would of expected the propeller blades to have reflected the canary yellow blade tips along with the manufactures decals.

Many custom parts makes adds to the realism.

This was a fun build! Directons were easy to follow. Big fan of COBI printing certain design elements directly on the pieces and not hassling with stickers. Display stand included!!
