The bomber that took everything Germany threw at it - and kept flying.

August 17, 1943. Schweinfurt-Regensburg. 376 B-17s leave English airfields to strike deep into the Reich. 60 don't come home. Hundreds more limp back with feathered engines, shredded tails, dead crew, and holes you could climb through. The damage on the survivors became legend - Forts that landed with entire nose sections missing, with rudders gone, with pilots flying by feel because the instruments were shot to pieces.

And they kept going back. Mission after mission. By war's end, the "Flying Fortress" had earned every letter of its name.

This is the bomber that crews bet their lives on — and won. The aircraft that made daylight precision bombing possible. The four-engine heavy that brought the war to Germany's doorstep when nothing else could.

Now you can build one. Big.

What you're building:

• 1,270 pieces in 1:44 scale
• The unmistakable B-17 silhouette - four radial engines, chin turret, ball turret, tail gunner position
• Full defensive armament configuration
• 3 crew figures included to bring your bomber to life
• Built to display - this is a centerpiece aircraft, not a shelf filler
• Engineered to honor the crews who flew her

⚠️ HEADS UP - STICKER APPLICATION: This kit uses stickers for the nose art, national insignia, squadron markings, and unit identification rather than pad-printing. We want you to know up front before you order. Our newer 1:35 armor kits (like the Panzer IV F2, and Panzer III L) are pad-printed only - but the B-17 in this scale uses stickers to capture the full bomber livery detail. No surprises when the box arrives.
