Details:

Bring one of the most iconic heavy bombers of World War II to your collection with the Italeri Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress (1487). This legendary American four-engine bomber played a crucial role in the Allied strategic bombing campaign over Europe, becoming famous for its durability, long-range capability, and ability to bring crews home even after sustaining heavy combat damage. Operated primarily by the United States Army Air Forces, the B-17F formed the backbone of the 8th Air Force’s daylight bombing operations deep into enemy territory.

The F variant represented a major development in the Flying Fortress family, offering increased operational range, improved payload capacity, and a formidable defensive armament of multiple .50 calibre machine guns. Its rugged design and heavily defended airframe made it one of the most respected and feared bombers of the Second World War.

This highly detailed plastic model kit captures the distinctive silhouette of the B-17F, including its broad wings, multi-gun defensive positions, and authentic wartime structure. Designed for experienced modellers, it offers a rewarding build with finely moulded parts and multiple decal options representing historic nose art schemes.
