1/72 H213 Revell Boeing Fortress IIA RAF (B-17) - Great Britain Issue
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
Hard-to-find Revell of Great Britain issue with RAF markings. This model has many operating features including movable gun turrets, movable control surfaces, opening bomb bay, rotating propellers & wheels and retractable landing gear. Molded in the correct white and clear. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. And thanks to Dusty Rhodes for the following information about the exact aircraft on the box art (and decals)- '...At 2015hrs [14 June 1943], in square BF72, U-600 and U-615 came under attack from a B17 Flying Fortress, FK212/V, RAF 220 Squadron. The boats defended themselves with flak and the aircraft was destroyed. There were no survivors...' A heroic a/c and crew, deservedly memorialized by Revell.
