The United States Eighth Air Force based at many airfields in southern England, such as Thorpe Abbotts airfield and the Fifteenth Air Force based in Italy - with many units stationed at the existing bases surrounding Foggia - complemented the RAF Bomber Command's nighttime area bombing in Operation Pointblank to help secure air superiority over the cities, factories and battlefields of Western Europe in preparation for Operation Overlord. The B-17 also participated to a lesser extent in the War in the Pacific where it conducted raids against Japanese shipping and airfields
This upcoming kit represents the most accurate model of a B-17G produced in any scale to date. As designed, the model represents a late-production B-17G with Cheyenne turret and staggered and enclosed waist windows. It is planned to offer modelers the opportunity to build a representative B-17G from Boeing, Lockheed-Vega and Douglas-Long Beach production, with interchangeable detail parts where required.
The model will have appropriate raised-rivet and lapped-panel surface detail. For those who wonder how big a 1/32 B-17G is, the wingspan is close to 40 inches.
