Product Description
The "Mighty Eighth's" bomber of choice.
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 Air Force! The 351st Bombardment Group and the 490th Bombardment Group were among the many divisions that used the B-17G to bomb German aircraft plants in the latter years of the war.
Decal Options:
1.U.S.A.A.F. 8th A.F. 490th B.G. 851st BS + J: "Carolina Moon," 1944
2.U.S.A.A.F. 8th A.F. 351th B.S. EP-N: "Humpty Dumpty," 1944
The R.A.F. Coastal Command was established in 1936 as the Royal Air Force's naval aviation arm. Once WWII broke out, the unit's primary role was to protect convoys from attacks by German U-boats. Pilots would often equip their B-24 Liberators with ASV radar and Leigh lights to hunt U-boats in all weather conditions. This limited edition kit features new ASV radar parts.
Decal Options:
1.Royal A.F. Coastal Command No. 220 Sq., Code: ZZ-E, April 1945
2.Royal A.F. Coastal Command, Code: TF
