Frog 1/72 Boeing B-17E Flying Fortress - 'Suzy Q' 93rd BS 19th BG Pacific Early 1942 / 'Yankee Doodle' 97th BG 8th AF 1942, F213 plastic model kit

1/72 F213 Frog Boeing B-17E Flying Fortress - 'Suzy Q' 93rd BS 19th BG Pacific Early 1942 / 'Yankee Doodle' 97th BG 8th AF 1942

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

From the 1970s and one of the better "E" model Flying Fortresses. Frog was well known for making realistic, detailed models at a time when most manufacturers were embellishing kits with over-sized rivets. Frog, on the other hand, strived for scale fidelity. This B-17E is no exception and is a fine kit for that time. Features fine raised panel lines and features a full crew, optional position landing gear, elevating tail guns, rotating and elevating top and belly turrets with the blocking panel for Suzy-Q, opening bomb bay doors and bomb load and more. Decals are included for two historical aircraft - Suzy-Q, a very early Pacific Theater aircraft from 1942 flown by Captain Felix Hardison USAAC (this B-17 had no ball turret) and Yankee Doodle, the ship that General Ira C. Eaker flew in as an observer during the 8th Air Forces first bombing mission against the railway marshaling yards at Sottenville, near Rouen France on August 17, 1942. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.
