AcademyB-17F Flying Fortress "Memphis Belle"

Haven’t put it together yet

I like this plain, Large picture with model inside sealed wrapping, A part of America’s History worth the money for any freedom loving Americans

Nothing to dislike

Terrible waste of money. Poorly designed. Most of the parts do not match up. The fuselage will not join properly. The turrets also cause a problem. The instructions are almost useless. Assembly of some parts are completely omitted. Do not buy!

Great kit excellent detail, no flash, fit was perfect.

Enjoyed building this model kit and would do it again in a heartbeat!

I’ve bought this model from a local hobby store 7’ish years ago and have sat on it since then. Recently started building it yesterday and there are a few huge problems: 1) the fuselage does not connect well at all, even when using glue and rubber bands, 2) the instructions are 2 pages long and should be disregarded due to how poorly described the illustrations are (will have better success without using the instructions, 3) one of the waist gunners isn’t available since it’s a solid piece of plastic on one side, 4) wings and elevators do not sit flush when trying to glue into place and will eventually droop down a bit or completely fall off before even fully drying, 5) wings have tabs that do not fit into the slots on the fuselage and had to be cut off to make it work, and 6) save the money and just don’t buy this. Buy either Revell or Tamiya if you want a B-17 model kit

Nothing good to say about this kit. Several parts had to be trimmed. Fuselage halves don’t go together. Details look cheap.Directions suck. Parts really need to be washed very carefully much more than other brands. Lot of flashing.I don’t know how others give it high ratings unless there was something wrong with this run of kits.
