HK New B-17F Boxing

[Archimedes]

I see HK Models have released a new boxing of their B-17F.

I always thought the F model was the best looking of the Forts so whilst decals are included for ‘Memphis Belle’, should I crumble and buy, I’ll take the road less travelled and do ‘Wabash Cannonball’ 

 

Cheers,

Paul

Good news, for a change.

 

Sincerely,

Great news, but a little disappointed that they recycled the decal options.

 

Bring on the nose section kits!

It doesn't appear this kit has E model pieces... looks to be strictly a B-17F release.

Agreed lovely box art and a great subject

Perhaps meaning we'll see a dedicated B-17E boxing? Maybe even some Fortress Mk.III decals in that release?

I hope not, the mk III was a B-17G.

I sit corrected! I think I truly meant Mk.II.

Good news. Ive been looking for an F for a while.

Glad to see them still coming out.  Interesting with the Wabash Cannonball name.  My Uncle flew P-61's in WWII and his ride was "Wabash Cannon-ball IV"  I'm assuming it was due to the line in the song about the girl from Birmingham since my Aunt was from Birmingham AL.

Agreed Martin!

 

It's the best I have seen in a while.  It really brings out the sense of a 'heavy' landing after a long flight home.

 

Best regards,
