Hasegawa 1/72 B-17F Flying Fortress Miami Clipper

This Hasegawa 1/72 scale model kit recreates the US Army B-17F Flying Fortress “Miami Clipper”, complete with its distinctive nose art. The featured aircraft belonged to the 322nd Bombardment Squadron, 91st Bombardment Group, 8th Air Force, with markings representing the aircraft as it appeared in March 1943.

The B-17F makes an imposing WWII bomber subject in 1/72 scale, and this release gives the build a specific identity through the supplied Miami Clipper markings. The combination of squadron codes, individual aircraft identity and nose art provides a clearly defined aircraft for the finished model.

WWII B-17F in 1/72 Scale

The Miami Clipper identity makes this kit an appealing choice for modellers interested in named WWII aircraft and US bomber subjects.
