   With the handy tool package I purchased it was a snap to complete the aircraft

   This kit was shipped from S. Korea and arrived in very good shape and promptly. Thank you very much! The kit itself is of good detail. There are some panel lines that I may sand down and rescribe. I thought the price was good for what we get. The B-17E is an important part of early WW2 history. I needed to fill this gap in my collection. In all honesty I have not yet built the kit but there are a few standouts that need to be addressed. I mentioned one above. I want to replace the exhaust/turbo superchargers. The various machine guns could be replaced for lack of detail but will pass. I like the Pacific Theater decals and selection. This is actually why I wanted the kit. My main interests are in this theater. There is an after market decal sheet for P.T.O. B-17s that I may pick-up for this kit. I’m very much looking forward to building this kit and continuing reading up on the role of the B-17E in this theater of WW2.

   Great kit. Accurate and well detailed. Cartograf decals are outstanding.
