AEVVV B17 Model Airplane Kit 1/72 Scale - Heavy Bomber B 17 Flying Fortress American WWII Aircraft - Russian Military Model Kits Airplane Assembly Instructions in Russian Language

Got this as a birthday gift for my husband. He is enjoying putting it together. He says it is really well made.

I just received this and the directions are not in English. You’ve heard paint by number well this will be assemble by picture

Very well built. Accurate model of the real plane.

The box top claims this is really the Academy kit. The kit is of the B-17F, and the original Academy boxing is available from Amazon for a third less. If you really want to spend the extra on this kit, the Academy instructions can be found at Scalemates.com. I haven't built the F model Academy kit, but have built the E model version Academy kit. There are only minor differences between the two kits. It's not bad and much better than the kits that proceeded it. The wing dihedral is a little to much but there are ways around that with strip plastic. I give this Russian boxing three stars only because of the exhorbatent price. A quick check on Scalemates does NOT show this particular boxing. The photos of what's in the box are of the Academy kit, but since the exact same box top art has been used by two other Russian companies, it could very well be the old Frog kit from 1975!

Very poor instructions, could hardly read the numbers on the plastic pieces ?

Very happy with this product.
