Collector grade 1/72 B-17F 'Miami Clipper' from Hasegawa 02462

The Hasegawa 02462 kit reproduces the B-17F Flying Fortress 'Miami Clipper' with careful attention to scale accuracy and external panel definition. This 1/72 plastic model captures the silhouette and surface detail that dedicated aircraft modellers value.

Intended for builders with prior experience, the kit contains many small components that need precise assembly and painting to reach a museum-quality finish. The cockpit and fuselage details are modelled for visibility and realism, making the completed kit a strong addition to any wartime aviation collection.

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Construction: Injection moulded plastic parts
  • Assembly Required: Yes - glue and paint needed
  • Paint and Decals: Not supplied with the kit
  • Cockpit Detail: Detailed and viewable after assembly

How complex is the build for this 1/72 B-17F kit?

This kit is geared toward intermediate to advanced modellers. Small parts and fine seams need careful trimming and filling, so some prior scale modelling experience is recommended.

What paints and finishes work best on the Miami Clipper scheme?

Use enamel or acrylic scale aircraft paints matched to WWII USAAF colours; a light pre-shade and satin clear coat help reveal panel lines and weathering for a realistic look.

Are the decals accurate for the nose art and markings?

The kit decals reproduce the 'Miami Clipper' nose art and basic markings, but careful decal setting and sealing are advised to match the painted surface and panel details.
