B-17G Flying Fortress 1:28 (1149mm)

Four-rapid altitude bomber Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was the beginning of the war great promise, command of the US Air Force expected to be able to operate in daylight over enemy territory without fighter escort and accurately overturn deadly cargo of bombs from high altitudes using the Norden bombsight, an electro-board computer . The first combat deployment first in the RAF, then against the Japanese in the Philippines and the daily raids on the Third Reich in 1943 showed that the reality is different. For winning bomber offensive from airports in Britain and southern Italy, it had to be completely redesigned aircraft, raise a number of towers and střelištěm with machine guns; large vertical tail with a prolonged keel rectify problems with stability - and especially unions "Flying Fortress" had fighter protection Mustangs along the journey. Only then B-17G wiped out along with the Liberators German oil refineries and factories for the production of synthetic beznínu, wrecked transport destroying the station and railway depots ...

Designers tethered mock four-engine low-wing bomber designed to drive two motors of 1.5 cc; instructions and schedule allow you to build a model as well as a static model with sophisticated maketovými details including cabin interior museum-quality 1:28 scale (this design captures the special drawing of the "Action Plan").

The model is a classic balsa structure in Rozsyp with předseknutými wooden parts, scale accessories made of vacuum-molded plastic, plastic injection molding parts drawn by a předseknutými parts of "plastic plywood", a light and strong material replacing conventional plywood. The hull is constructed of course true minimaketářskou technology partitions a plurality of longitudinal enabling faithfully reproduce the rounded shapes. Built in two stages - thanks to "split" in the vertical plane stand directly on the countertop first half of the fuselage, and then to her "dolepíte" second half. This ensures that even complicated shapes hull stand straight and symmetrical, without needing any special preparations. The wing is being built from classic ribs and beams. Given that it is a model for advanced builders, you should already have prior experience with classical building.

Flying Fortress is also suitable for conversion to a RC model with electric drive or drive 2 internal combustion engines of 0.8-1.5 cc - although construction plan does not offer these options for experienced modelers would not be a big problem.

Kit contains: balsa předseknuté parts, balsa wood beams, předseknuté parts from plastic plywood, vacuum-molded parts Scale (engine casings, engine, bow hull ...), plastic wheels, steel strings on chassis and other small parts, lining paper sheet wet decals, construction plan.

Tip for construction: Předseknuté parts NEVYLAMUJTE! Turn the plank, place it on a work surface and lightly sand the fine sandpaper (no. 220 or finer). The parts can then be easily separated; if they still have some wood fibers "tied" to a cutting board, carefully separate the part of the pattern, using a sharp knife (suitable eg. Excel No.1 knife with a blade No.11).
