Ok. So I bought this kit (having made the Revell B-17G version), as I wanted to make a replica of the USAAF Memorial "Sally-B" that can still be seen flying around airshows up and down the country. Why buy this kit? The Sally-B (whilst built as the G version) doesn't have the protruding panels with guns on each side of the nose, although it did retain the gun dome underneath it. I therefore made this purchase just to get the correct panels.The pros for this kit are that that there is good detail, the pieces fit nicely and it looks great if you get a nice clean finish on all the glass pieces.The 'not so good' issues I found with this particular kit are that (unlike the G release), there was more 'flash'

In decades of building model aircraft this is one of the best kits I’ve ever come across in terms of quality and value for money. I bought this kit as a project to keep me busy during lockdown and was expecting something comparable to the Airfix B-17. In fact, this is far superior. The interior detail is fabulous, hence my decision to build this as a ‘cutaway’ model so that this can be shown off. The model comes with a very detailed decal set that takes time and patience to apply but produces great looking results. The detailing is as good as it possibly can be without photo-etched parts. Both the detailing on the plastic mouldings and the level of detail on the decals are superior to much more expensive kits I’ve built.

This is a model that will keep me out of mischeif for hours if not weeks. The detail is out of this world, was going to have it as a "Flying" modle but will now do it undercarridge down and bomb bay doors open. I live in the same village that the "Belle" flew from and was stationed at the barracks at the end of my Army Career. Will have pride of place in the display cabinst once built and painted up.As with all Revell modles the instructions are not as good as Airfix but the castings are far superior and as long as time is taken building I dont forsee any problems, plus there is always the internet there for help.

Builds into an impressive representation of the Memphis belle B17.Reasonably easy to follow instructions although some drawings require a little studying.Generally builds into a well detailed model kit .

Good kit, this was modelled as actual damaged “Ye Olde Pub” version, the battle damage and custom transfers were added to the standard kit (Me-109 also not included)

Theres a lot of model here, looks very detailed, gives option of either Memphis Bell or Shramrock Special via transfers. Waiting for quite time for building start.

Most complicated model I had completed, very happy with the result. I like the Revell models, the attention to detail very good, decals finish the job

The film "Memphis Belle" should be shown to teenagers plus a visit to the USA cemetery in Cambridge and Duxford.
