Minicraft 1/144 B-17G Kit Review
Improving the Flying Fortress: Minicraft Models Enhances its B-17 in 1/144 Scale
By Bill Engar
The B-17 needs no introduction. To many, it’s the iconic WWII bomber and often lands high on lists of weapon systems that were key to Allied victory. First flying in 1935, it had a few years to be refined with constant improvements made while anticipating the storms brewing that became World War II. Over 12,500 were built. Of that number, Douglas Aircraft actually built 3000.
