WWII's B-17G Fighting Fortress could take on the Luftwaffe – and win with the best of them. It's no wonder this beast of a bomber was a favorite of the Eighth AirForce! The 351st Bombardment Group and the 490thBombardment Group were among the many divisions that used the B-17G to bomb German aircraft plants in the latter years of the war.

 

 

 

This Limited Edition kit features two marking options:

 

1. U.S.A.A.F. 8thA.F. 490th B.G. 851st BS + J: "Carolina Moon," 1944

It's nice to see additional B-17G, 8th A.F. markings. I wonder if there will be any early Y1B-17, or B, C, or D model markings in the future?
