About product

Decals for the B-17E Flying Fortress Birmingham Blitzkrieg 1:72 (HAD models)

A sheet of waterslide decals in 1:72 scale from the Hungarian manufacturer HAD models, intended for the four-engine Boeing B-17E Flying Fortress bomber of the US Army Air Forces. The markings relate to a particular machine carrying the name Birmingham Blitzkrieg. The package holds decals only, not a model.

The real subject

The B-17E was the first version of the Flying Fortress with a markedly reworked rear fuselage, a tall fin and expanded defensive machine gun equipment including a tail gun position. It was precisely this form that gave the whole family its characteristic outline, which the later and more numerous versions then kept. It was a four-engine machine built for flight at high altitude, which matched both the supercharging of the engines and the equipment of the crew.

How the decals are applied

A smooth gloss base is the foundation. Once the model is painted, spray gloss clear coat, let it cure and only then work with the decals. Cut the design off closely, soak it in lukewarm water and wait until the film releases from the paper. Carry it to the model together with the backing and slide it carefully into place. Soak the residual water up and on riveted, busy areas add a softener. Large designs on the rounded nose are better laid on in pieces, checking as you go so that the film does not ripple.

Who the sheet is for

  • builders of American bombers in 1:72 scale
  • modelers who want a particular named machine
  • anyone after wider options than an ordinary kit offers
  • collectors of decal sheets for Second World War equipment

This is a decal sheet, not a kit. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is not. You are buying the decal sheet itself. The model in 1:72 scale has to be bought separately.

Yes, mainly in the shape of the rear fuselage and the fin. Check before buying that your model matches the E version, or the markings may not sit in the right places.

Apply it over gloss clear coat, soak the surplus water up and use a softener. The final matte varnish then blends the edge of the film with the paint to the eye.
