Model Description
This collectible B-17 represents one of the iconic aircraft of World War II, Boeing’s Flying Fortress. This model B-17G shows “Liberty Bell,” a B-17G owned and operated by the Liberty Foundation. Out of more than 12,000 B-17s built, only a few are flyable, including Liberty Belle. Painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our skilled craftsmen with a wealth of detail, this 1/60-scale model B-17G – the definitive version of the Flying Fortress - makes a great gift for any aviation buff or history fan.
The B-17 was not the fastest, highest-flying bomber of World War II, not did it carry the largest bomb load. What it could do, and proved it time after time, was take astonishing amounts of damage and return its crew home. While the Flying Fortress served in every theater of the war, it is the missions over Europe that brought the four-engine Boeing lasting fame.
