COBI-5749 – EXECUTIVE EDITION Boeing™ B-17F Flying Fortress™ “Memphis Belle”
HISTORICAL COLLECTION WWII | 1,376 pieces | 2 figures | 1:48 Scale | Age 10+
The Memphis Belle is without doubt the most iconic B-17 Flying Fortress™ from the Second World War. This United States Army Air Forces aircraft became world-famous as one of the first bombers to successfully complete 25 combat missions over Europe. Its story was further immortalized in books and a famous war film, making the Memphis Belle the ultimate symbol of courage, perseverance, and American air power.
The EXECUTIVE EDITION by COBI brings this legend to life in 1:48 scale, built from 1,376 building blocks. The model is impressively large with a wingspan of 66 cm, making it one of the largest sets in the collection. Every detail has been carefully recreated: from the iconic nose art to the heavy armament that lives up to the nickname “Flying Fortress”.
The model features numerous moving elements: retractable landing gear, rotating propellers, movable ailerons, and opening bomb bays. The cockpit accommodates the included 2 pilot figures with detailed uniform prints. This EXECUTIVE EDITION also includes a special display stand with a nameplate, making the Memphis Belle an absolute eye-catcher in any collection.
The real Memphis Belle became a national symbol in the United States after the war. Following restoration, the aircraft took its place of honor in 2018 at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.
