Here's my first review! The topic is the Revell B-17G Flying Fortress. It is 19 inches long, with a wingspan of 26 inches. It is a skill level 2 and can be purchased for around $25. The model also includes a five man ground crew, and four bombs which can be either glued in the bomb bay, or placed on a bomb cart included with the kit. It took me about 2 days to build but can take a longer or shorter time depending on how well you want the quality. It has 2 marking options. One is El Lobo II which served in the 457th bomb group's 748 squadron based in Glatton England. El Lobo II is the one shown is the photo. The other is Chow Hound which served in the 91st bomb group's 322 squadron. The kit is fairly easy to build with only a few areas to watch during assembly such as gluing the fuselage and the nose turret. For gluing the fuselage, I recommend test fitting the two halves before applying glue. I also recommend using several rubber bands to hold it together while the glue is drying. As for the nose turret, pay close attention to the instructions. I personally think the turret installation could have thought out better and I ended up gluing the turret in place (which you are not supposed to do) on both of my two B-17s. Luckily for me, one of them can still turn even though it still falls out every once in a while. All in all it is a great model and I give it 4 and 1/2 stars out of 5. I highly recommend it to any World War II model builders and any model builders. That about finishes my todays review. I'll have more out soon.
Happy Building!!!
