Academy 1/72 B-17G Flying Fortress Special Nose Art Edition - Collector Overview

The Academy 1/72 B-17G Flying Fortress Special Nose Art Edition is a finely scaled plastic kit that honours an important WWII heavy bomber. The model captures the aircrafts silhouette and includes decal sheets for period nose art, making it a rewarding project for history minded modellers and display collectors.

Combat History and Model Accuracy

The B-17G Flying Fortress earned its place in air warfare for long range daylight raids over Europe and robust airframe design. This kit aims to reflect those historic traits with accurate proportions and surface detail that echo the real aircrafts features.

Assembly Notes and Display Tips

At 1/72 scale the parts require careful trimming and glue for a crisp build. Builders will find decals for multiple nose art options to personalise the finished model, and painting is recommended to bring out panel detail and weathering before final display.
