This 1:144 diecast model of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress 'Memphis Belle' commemorates one of the most famous bombers of the Second World War. Operated by the 324th Bomb Squadron, 91st Bomb Group, the Memphis Belle became legendary as the first U.S. Army Air Forces heavy bomber to complete 25 combat missions over Europe with its crew intact. Its successful return made it a symbol of American air power and resilience, boosting morale both on the front and back home.
Painstakingly recreated by Corgi as part of the Aviation Archive series, this model features the aircraft’s iconic olive drab and grey camouflage, nose art, and squadron markings. The 'DF-A' code and tail number 124485 are authentically reproduced to represent the historic aircraft as it appeared during its wartime service.
This model comes prebuilt and includes a display stand, making it a standout piece for WWII aviation enthusiasts and collectors of iconic U.S. military aircraft.
