Description
The Memphis Belle is the most famous B-17 Flying Fortress used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II. The aircraft gained popularity thanks to its successful series of 25 bombing missions over Europe. An excellent war film also tells its story. The realistic EXECUTIVE EDITION brick model includes the paint scheme and markings of the historical machine and consists of over 1300 elements. This impressive model has a wingspan of 66cm when built. Once built it will also become one of the biggest pieces in your brick collection. Seeing the amazing details and admiring the amount of weapons you will quickly find out why this plane was called the "Flying Fortress"! The two pilot figures included in the set feature highly-detailed prints. The set also offers movable elements such as wheels, folding landing gear, propellers, ailerons and openable bomb hatches. The set includes a special block display stand featuring a black plate with the name of the historic aircraft. Thanks to the intuitive instructions based on clear illustrations the construction is simple. The plane is a must-have item for all enthusiasts of history, aviation and military technology. The huge number of pieces also ensures many hours of exciting construction. The set was entirely produced in Poland within the European Union.
The "Memphis Belle" is most notable for being the first to survive its tour of duty over Europe. These bombers were often damaged or lost as a result of intense resistance. The Memphis Belle became a symbol of the courage and tenacity of bomber crews during the war. After its combat service ended, the aircraft was transported to the United States, where it attracted attention as a symbol of American success in the air war. In May 2018, the restored version of the aircraft was finally donated to the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, where it is on display to the public.

Cobi is the only way to go for military brick sets!
I was building making it the propeller was BROKEN! And i am even more that this was my gift from my birthday and it was ruined and in the end It was very un stable and broken
Excellent kit! There is so much detail on the plane, it is sturdy, and perfect for any WW2 plane enthusiast. It is a perfect kit to go with my B-24 Liberator!
Kit came quickly and well packaged. It is a much improved kit than the old B-17 model! The wings go on easily complete with dihedral too! Thanks again for a great kit!
The model is very nice, but several pieces were missing. Fortunately my son had matching pieces, but different color of legos he swapped in to complete the project
Your items are very unique. Thank you for preserving important history. I'm very excited to give the Memphis Belle as a gift to my grandson. I can't say much about the item itself as it hasn't been opened and assembled yet, but the order process was easy. More importantly, the customer service after I ordered was amazing! This has been a great experience, and I look forward to future shopping with COBI!
Signed, Happy Customer! :)
P.S. Did I say the customer service was amazing?!!!
I have been doing Lego for many years and only one other Cobi kit. This Kit is absolutely on par with any Lego build I have ever done. Instructions were perfect
First time using this company and it won’t be my last! They had exactly what I wanted with a darn good price too. Shipment was fast with excellent tracking and products arrived in their original Cobi boxes. I couldn’t be happier!
This is the best company in North America for all your Cobi needs hands down. :)
A very positive experience, the service is absolutely fantastic. Chad Snyder in customer service is the best. I have bought from the site before and I will again. The Cobi models keep getting better and better.
This is a beautiful display model. Let me say that again, this is a very beautiful display model. The stand allows the model to be put in a shallow banking view. The color scheme is spot on and the lines flow to emphasize the B-17’s lethal grace. The instruction piece colors were sometimes hard to ID but checking the picture on the box and website often cleared that up. I do wish that a windshield was provided, but it doesn’t detract from the model. I think COBI nailed this one. Highly recommend.
The set was delivered directly to our grandson,Nick, in Virginia. The shipping interval was stellar. Nick is VERY knowledgeable about aircraft and really enjoys getting COBI models. He sets right to work getting them assembled. His first remark after looking at the box and directions was, "Wow! Look at the wing span!" I have not seen the completed model but am sure he has it displayed with his other COBI'S.
