1/48 Monogram B-17

"G"


This is a typical monogram offering. average detail, average fit and a finished product that looks like a B-17. A bomb bay is offered, but it lacks detail and there is no option

to have the bomb bay doors open. This is an early "G" model that has the older tail gunners position and symmetrical waist gunner positions. All crew hatches are molded shut

and the wheel well is lacking any detail. Included are crew figures, bomb cart and 500lbs bombs for the option of a ground diorama.

 

Also included is the wonderful "how-to" diorama manual written by Shep Paine

 

The aircraft options included are:

"El Lobo II", 42-32101, 748th BS, 457th BG

"Chow Hound", 42-31367, 322nd BG, 91st BG
