Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress USAAF 447th BG, 709th BS, "A Bit O Lace" 1945, Corgi 1:72 Scale Model

✈️B-17 Bomber Corgi Aviation Archive Collector Series US33306✈️
A Bit O'Lace was based on a popular Army cartoon strip, "Male Call." Armourer Nicholas Fingelly painted it in 1944 and in July 1945 the Bomber returned to the U.S. after having flown 83 missions.

During WW2, young airmen separated from home, family, loved ones and a familiar way of life often sought ways of escaping the harsh reality of war by personalising their aircraft with what has become known as nose art. Humour, slogans, nicknames, cartoons, girls; all were used to bring a touch of light relief to their deadly day-to-day existence. The Corgi Nose Art range aims to capture some of the superb works of art that adorned aircraft on all sides of the conflict. Each model includes a diecast body panel featuring the art in colourful, large-scale detail..
