B-17G Flying FortressThe famous Flying Fortress of World War II. This beautiful model is constructed of select kiln-dried Philippine Mahogany and is made entirely from hand - from from the hand carving of the fuselage, wings and tail section - to the sanding of the aircraft contours. Every part is assembled precisely into place with high quality adhesive. After assembly the model passes through several stages of shaping and sanding before it is hand painted with actual, historically researched, squadron insignias, nose art, emblems and serial numbers. Hand-made bombs, rockets, missiles and droptanks are added as appropriate to represent the actual weapons and external load of the aircraft. Finally, this beautiful model is painted with several coats of clear lacquer to protect the exquisite artwork and to provide an overall glossy finish. The B-17G model comes with a natural stained mahogany stand with a brass nameplate depicting the model's designation. The B-17G model is a 1:72 scale reproduction and comes in two color schemes: olive and grey, and silver. No assembly required Please inquire about the many other models available.
