Can't wait for this to finally have a full interior Belle had the venerable 1 48 scale B-17 F kit by Revell in the stash for 20 years with the intent on building the Belle but when HK released the G I decided to convert my old F kit into the movie Memphis Belle 8 months down the line I've nearly finished her so this new tooling of the real Belle will go nicely next to my Movie Memphis Belle 😁

@padawan, totally understand you're joy for this kit. It just has a really whooping price I must say.

Yeah the price doesn't bother me to be honest, with the old Revell kit I've converted into the movie Memphis Belle, with all resin upgrades (engines and props) plasticard, sheet styrene styrene strip Big Ed set Brass barrels, vacuform windows aftermarket decals and stencils and paints my Movie Memphis Belle project has cost me £270 in total the base kit was £24.95 30 years ago so £115.99 for base kit which is pretty good OOB isn't that bad
