Airfix-Revell B-17 1/72


Recommended Posts

The new Airfix kit has the edge in external dimensions/proportions accuracy and comes with the Cheyenne turret.

 

The the Promodeler by Revell B-17G, as well as both the Revell of Germany B-17G and B-17F kits, come with the parts for both the early and the Cheyenne versions.

Hi,

Both seem like darn good kits - does anyone what they have for the tail gunners position - early, Cheyenne turret?

got both, and I prefer the Revell kit. Just found the Airfix kit to be a bit soft in detail. Plus there wasn't a huge amount of airframes built like the Airfix. Lot of talk about the panel lines not being right with the revel; well Airfix isn't exactly close to being right either.
