DESCRIPTION:
 
The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is an American long-range four-engine heavy bomber that was created by the American aviation company Boeing Airplane Company. This is one of the most popular bombers serving the Allies during World War II. Even several hundred such machines took part in many actions at the same time, creating powerful so-called carpet raids. He was heavily armed with on-board weapons, which inspired him to call him a "flying fortress."
 
The Flying Fortress is the largest block model aircraft that COBI has released so far. It has movable elements such as wheels, wing ailerons, on-board weapons and propellers. Below the deck there is an opening hatch from which the included bombs fall out. The plane has been covered with high-quality prints that do not wear off even during intense play. Stickers are completely dispensed with in this set. The prints reflect the painting of the plane from the war period. On the cabin, there is a specially prepared print of the mascot "Beauties of Memphis".
 
This is a very extensive model that will work equally well in any collection of an aviation or history enthusiast. Thanks to the durable and solid construction, younger fans of blocks can also play with it. The perfect reproduction of details and the construction of blocks, which does not require gluing and painting, are certainly the great advantages of this product.
 
The plane comes with a special, exclusive pilot figure with a mapped uniform. The cap has a printed emblem and a brown visor. There is a uniform print on the body with an emblem on the back. The characteristic pilot head was used for the first time with this set. The pilot is the perfect complement to this exclusive edition of the B17 Flying Fortress "Memphis Beauty" and is a great collector's treat.
