COBI Historical Collection WWII Boeing™ B-17F Flying Fortress™ Memphis Belle Aircraft - Executive Edition 49,5x14x66 cm

Great product: good attention to detail, sturdy construction, and great for bombing Nazis.

Be careful with the guns. Can be easily broken.

First I kit purchased created by COBI. Experienced modeler, I was looking for a change of pace. The kit turned out very very nice. This is good sized model and is designed very well. At first glance you wouldn’t even know it’s a bricks model. This isn’t a very hard kit so I would say it’s good for tweens and up. A couple of tough to decipher brick placements and lack of cockpit window pieces (the cockpit is open which is kind of dumb) are my only complaints. Nice distraction from the 1/350 aircraft carrier with photo-etch parts I’ve been slowly building over the year.

Great model but for the price I would of expected the propeller blades to have reflected the canary yellow blade tips along with the manufactures decals.

Many custom parts makes adds to the realism.

Finished off the B-17 since it outlasted my kids attention span over a period of several weeks (10+ hours maybe, I wasn't counting) … had some trouble getting the right fit around where the wing and the fuselage meet, and had to strip a thin layer from where the bomb bay doors are attached to get them to fit right. This made the bomb bay a tight fit for the bombs but my kids 12 and 8 solved that.

This was a fun build! Directons were easy to follow. Big fan of COBI printing certain design elements directly on the pieces and not hassling with stickers. Display stand included!!

My child was gifted this and was greatly enjoying building it, until we encountered a couple missing pieces. We looked everywhere, went back through every bag and box, but they were not included. Very disappointing.
