The Boeing B-17F was also the first Flying Fortress to be manufactured using mass production techniques. The most famous aircraft in this series was a B-17F which was delivered on 15th July 1942 and entered service with the 324th Bomber Squadron in England. Her crew named her the Memphis Belle after the girl-friend of her pilot, Lt. Robert K. Morgan. She became famous due to the fact that she was officially recognised as the first U.S. Army Air Force bomber to survive 25 missions in Europe and subsequently became the star of a propaganda film made in Hollywood. After this mission the Memphis Belle and her crew were ordered to return to the United States. She was later bought by the city of Memphis and used as an Open Air Memorial. In all, a total of 12,677 B-17's were built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:72 scale\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed Surfaces with Recessed Panel Joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed cockpit including Consoles and Instrument Panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual Seats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBomb-bay Racks including Loading Points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Bombs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBomb-Sight and Nose Seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed Radio Operator \/ Navigator's position with fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide window options for inclusion of a Machine Gun Position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotating MG turret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed Upper Gun-Turret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear plastic parts for the B-17's front and upper middle-level MG's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTail-end MG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate Rudder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWing Flaps to mount in either the deployed or retracted position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Detailed Radial Engines with Exhaust Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoolant Rings may be positioned open or close\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImitation Turbocharger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate Air Intake Ducts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate elevator's and aileron's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed Landing Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecal Sets for 2 USAAF versions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB-17F-10-BO, serial 41-24485, DF-A, Mephis Bell , 8th Air Force, 91st Bomb Group, 324rd Bomb Squadron, Bassingbourn, UK, May 1943\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB-17F-10-BO, serial 42-29591, LL-Z, The Shamrock Special , 8th Air Force, 91st Bomb Group, 401st Bomb Squadron, Bassingbourn, UK, October 1943\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Revell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55737282068863,"sku":"04279","price":38.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/7091\/9964\/files\/04279_kmw_b_17f_memphis_belle-1000x1000w_jpg.webp?v=1753119807","url":"https:\/\/www.sundonmodelshop.com\/products\/revell-b17f-memphis-belle-1-72","provider":"Sundon Model Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
