HK Models 1/32 B-17G Flying Fortress

The B-17G Flying Fortress is a famous bomber from WW2. Primarily used in the European theatre to bomb Germany. It is also a very large aircraft. So, to make it in 1/32 scale will make it a huge model. HK Models is one of the few who manufacture the B-17G in 1/32 scale. While it is not available yet, Military Modelling has a test preview of the kit.


This is not a Tamiya quality kit – but it is more refined in detail than a Hasegawa kit – It falls I think somewhere in the middle as those two - not bad. Though so far I feel it is not as sharp as their B-25 but it is as good as if not a fair bit better than any Revell Heinkel type of kit and on a much bigger size - and hey this is still the pre-production kit so I am going to stop talking now.

This kit is definitely not for everyone. Do keep in mind that this is still in pre-production, so the final kit may actually differ. For updates, you can visit HK Models website.
