B-17F memphis Belle - Model kit, 235 parts, 13 years and up

The Boeing B-17 became synonymous with the heavily armed strategic bomber during World War 2. The Boeing B-17F was the first Flying Fortress to be mass produced. The most famous aircraft from this series was a B-17F, which was delivered on 15 July 1942 and entered service with the 324th Bomber Squadron in England. The crew named it Memphis Belle after the girlfriend of the pilot Lt. Robert K. Morgan. Her fame resulted from the fact that she was officially the first US Army Air Force bomber to survive 25 missions in Europe and became the star of a Hollywood propaganda film. After this mission, the Memphis Belle and her crew were ordered to the USA. It was later purchased by the city of Memphis and erected in the open air as a memorial. A total of 12,677 B-17s were produced.
