Precision Steel Model Kit

The Metal Earth B-17 Flying Fortress is a challenging steel model kit containing 76 precision-etched parts. It replicates the World War II heavy bomber with a detailed exterior and landing gear. No glue or paint is required for assembly, though tweezers are recommended. The officially licensed kit arrives in a brand new box.

Collectors and Patient Builders

This kit suits hobbyists who enjoy complex, hands-on projects and want a display piece with true-to-scale detail. The challenging difficulty level demands patience and fine motor skills. It is not for buyers seeking a quick build or a toy with moving parts or interior access. Younger children or casual assemblers should look at simpler kits.

Assembled Dimensions 6.9 by 5.3 by 1.57 Inches

The finished model measures approximately 6.9 inches long, 5.3 inches wide and 1.57 inches high. These compact dimensions determine whether the bomber fits your intended display shelf or cabinet space. Verify the available area before starting the build.

Questions about this item

Does the finished B-17 model generate any noise, heat or power draw when displayed all day?

No — it is a static steel model with no moving parts, electronics or power source, so it runs completely silent and cool.

What tools do I need to have before starting the 76-part assembly?

The kit requires no glue or paint, but the manufacturer recommends tweezers or similar fine-nosed pliers to bend and connect the metal tabs.

Will the 6.9-inch long assembled bomber sit steadily on a shelf with my older die-cast aircraft?

Yes — the model includes fixed landing gear and a flat underside, so it rests securely on any level surface alongside other display pieces.
