Airfix - Boeing B17G Flying Fortress - 1:72 (A08017)
Without doubt, the definitive version of the Flying
Fortress was the B-17G and this last mass-produced version of the aircraft
was manufactured in more numbers than all previous versions combined – the
B-17G was a magnificent fighting aeroplane. Addressing all the shortcomings
of the previous combat variants, the B-17G incorporated a number of
significant improvements, specifically around the placement and upgrading of
defensive armament. The combat experiences of crews flying the earlier
versions of the B-17 were crucial in producing this definitive US heavy
bomber.
