Good model very easy to build instruction sheet very simple to follow. i wanted to bye another and paint it in RAF Bomber Command camouflage and markings But they go up in price every time i look From £29 to£ 41 in a week.
Come on guys this is a very basic Model.

This model shocked and horrified me in equal measure when I unboxed it. That they could make such a mess out of such a large scale model of an iconic aircraft like this was just, well… utterly disappointing.

I can only assume that Revell realised they had made a terrible error of judgement and remade this model into the far superior 1/72nd scale 04279 B-17F Memphis Belle version. Seriously people, buy the smaller one, it is a vastly better model.

This one has issue right from the start. The parts don’t fit snugly together, so you will have a lot of work filing and filling to cover ridiculous over-sights on this model. The cockpit frame is larger than the fuselage, the fuselage doesn’t quite match up, the wings don’t quite sit in the sockets properly, the guns in the dorsal turret are fixed in place – I don’t think I’ve ever had a model where the dorsal guns don’t elevate. There are other issues that should have been picked up in the planning phase and kicked out of touch.

At the end of the day you have a poorly designed, poorly molded model that requires a rather ridiculous amount of extra work just to get it to look half decent. And yet, for a few pounds difference you could have a smaller version that has everything you could want in a model.

Whether this is an old back catalogue model, or just a mistake they couldn’t afford to not produce, I don’t know. But if this had been my first model from Revell, it would have put me off ever buying from them again. Perhaps there are two divisions at Revell, the «we don’t care, toss it to the customers» at the large scale, and the «love modelling, couldn’t live without it» crowd in the smaller scale offices. Whatever the case is, don’t waste your money on this model, it’s so disappointing the only thing to do is take out in the back yard and use it for target practice. Complete waste of money – even more so when there is another 1/48th model by Revell, that while not great, makes this one look like a clay golem.

Thankfully disastrous models like this are not very common, still, somehow they seem to find me more often than not. Or perhaps I’m just spoiled by other companies who love what they do, and love the customers just as much.
