Decals 1:32 for two high-altitude test Fortresses B-17E from the Boeing laboratory, which carried the inscription Nemesis of Aeroembolism.
Responsibility details are not available.
Between 1941 and 1943 Boeing, in cooperation with the aero medical laboratory at Wright Field in Dayton, operated three specially modified bombers. The machines served for trials of flight at altitudes above thirty-five thousand feet and were given the nickname research Fortresses. These were two aircraft of the B-17E version, specifically number thirteen with the fuselage number 41-2407 and number seven with the fuselage number 41-2399, supplemented by an older B-17C. Their base was Muroc Field in the California desert, that is, the place from which the famous test center later grew.
The set brings markings for exactly the two E Fortresses mentioned. Both carried on the nose an inscription that made fun of the medical name for decompression sickness, and with it serial numbers, laboratory sequence numbers and American national insignia matching the start of the war period. The fate of both machines has been traced: the first of them went in August 1946 to the storage depot at Davis-Monthan, the second was withdrawn as early as September 1945 at Stillwater. Markings for the third, C-model aircraft are not part of the sheet. For the builder this is a rewarding subject, because it combines an early type of Fortress with untypical inscriptions of a kind that combat crews never carried.
The elements are cut out individually and transferred with water from the carrier paper. The surface should be smooth and glossy so that no air pockets form under the film. The model of the bomber is sold separately.
