1/72 B-17G Flying Fortress D-Day Doll

Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

From the Hasegawa website:

For its first recorded mission on June 7th, 1944, the day after D-Day, the crew of this 8th Air Force aircraft dubbed her D-Day Doll. Like most B-17s, this gal had a rather rough time of it. Most of the Luftwaffe had been destroyed or dispersed, but the remnant were some of the most experienced pilots ever to fly. Making matters worse, the Axis anti-aircraft batteries had lost none of their potency. Twice in a year D-Day Doll received damage sufficient for long grounding. Nevertheless, they won. Kit features two sets of decals.

When completed, this model kit measures about 321mm long and has a wing span of about 437mm. Parts come molded in gray. Includes clear parts and decals.
