The most famous strategic aircraft of WWII! It will be known forever as Memphis Belle, the B-17F Flying Fortress that made history by becoming the first heavy bomber in the European theater to complete 25 missions—without losing a crew member. This intricate re-creation captures every feature of the actual bomber. You will admire the detailed fuselage, four engine housings built into the wings, landing gear and armament. Painted by hand, and enhanced by authentic military markings, including the original nose art. You can position the turrets and guns, and the canopy and ball turrets swivel 360 degrees.

Franklin Mint’s B-17 series brings new meaning to the term “heavy bomber.” Weighing in at almost 8 pounds, these are quite possibly the largest and heaviest diecast models on the market. In this large scale, the series is able to capture detail that can be lost in smaller scales, such as the beautifully detailed “Norden” bombsight, which is easily visible through the nose copula. The canopy is removable, providing a clear view of the large cockpit interior, nicely detailed pilot and co-pilot instruments and controls, and a well detailed bulkhead that leads further into the interior. Rotating and pivoting machine gunner positions (in most releases) and Wright “Cyclone” engine detail inside the engine cowlings add a finishing touch.
