Premium Hobbies B-17E Pacific Theater 1:72 Plastic Model Airplane Kit 141V

Works fine

These models are roughly cut and need to be “manicured” to fit together correctly. Some parts more than others.

From the Premium Hobby website "Premium HobbiesPremium Hobbies is our line of kits that we developed through collaborations with many popular model manufacturers. These kits where old kits that where re-released exclusively for us or have custom box art that is not found in the standard range."When I first read that, I was afraid it might be the old Frog kit. In the description on Amazon it says the kit is from Korea and looking at the sprue shots this is definitely the Academy kit. That is a plus, but there is at least one problem area to be aware of. The kit has too much dihedral on the wings. It is suggested to use some thin sheet plastic as a shim to get to the proper amound of dihedral. Some adjustments will have to consequently made to the main landing gear legs so that they don't end up being at an angle to the wing instead of being perpendicular to the wing. I have built one kit of the Academy E model and also one each of the B and C model B-17 kits. Take your time in assembling it and things should turn out just fine.
