Academy 1/72 B-17G Flying Fortress Special Nose Art Edition - Scale Model Brief

The Academy 1/72 B-17G Flying Fortress Special Nose Art Edition offers a faithful small scale kit of the legendary four engine bomber. It combines precise moulding and decal options that let modellers recreate authentic nose art from the era or apply their own designs.

Role in WWII and Model Details

The B-17G was central to long range daylight bombing campaigns, prized for toughness and defensive armament. This kit reflects that heritage through scaled surface detail and the characteristic layout of the G variant.

Construction and Finishing Advice

Parts fit is designed for glue assembly and careful builders will want to test fit before cementing. Painting will greatly enhance panel lines and rivet detail, while the included decals allow for several historically inspired liveries.
