This review is on the 1/48 scale, Revell of Germany, Memphis Belle. The Memphis Belle is easily the most famous B-17 Flying Fortress ever built. Flown by Captain Robert Morgan, it was the very first B-17 in the Eighth Air Force to survive 25 missions. It has inspired two movies, which are the 1944 documentary, Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress, and the 1990 movie Memphis Belle. The plane itself is now under restoration at Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton Ohio. The model is A great addition to anyones collection. It's instructions are not the best, but they are good enough to follow at a slow pace. It does not have as much interior as the B-17G model for those of you who love detail. It is a skill level 5 but the only real challenge is the painting as it requires a distinct camouflage pattern. It is a little pricey too. It costs around $35 when the B-17G costs about $25. I personally would All in all it is a great model which I would give a 4 of a possible 5 stars.
