DescriptionThe ‘Memphis Belle’ was the name of a B-17 Flying Fortress US heavy bomber used in the Second World War. During the war, the B-17 dropped more bombs than any other US aircraft and it gained a reputation for being tough due to its heavy defensive armaments which meant more returned to base. The Memphis Belle was the first of the B-17s to complete 25 bombing missions and went on to inspire a Hollywood film of the same name in 1990.This is another lovely kit for more advanced model builders as it has 235 pieces, many of which are small and require the use of tweezers to assemble. Like others, it doesn’t come with glue or paint but it does come with sticker decals. This is a great kit for both movie fans and military aircraft enthusiasts!Ages: 10 Model Length: 32cmDifficulty: AdvancedScale: 1:72Pieces: 235
