Bristling with machine guns, the \"G\" version of the B-17 was a formidable opponent for enemy fighters being able to absorb extensive battle damage and still survive to deliver its bomb cargo on designated targets. Flown by the Eighth Air Force, the B-17G proved the feasibility of strategic daytime bombing at a time when the concept was questioned because of losses suffered from enemy defenses during the early war years. The superior combat record of the B-17 won it a deserved reputation as one of aviation's most successful bomber designs. Wing Span: 45¾\" Scale: 1\/28 Min. Age: 14 Guillow's magnificent scale model of this aircraft is a replica of the B-17G mural on the wall at the Smithsonian Institution. The balsa scale model is designed for .049 U\/C flight or as a Build 'n Show display. Finely detailed plastic gun turrets and dummy engines, rugged landing gear and a sturdy wing\/fuselage interlock. Build it with either movable or unmovable flying surfaces. Link: Guillow's B - 17G Kit - PARTS LISTINGS To see our other kits by Guillow's, please click here.
