Cutting Edge Decals

1/48 B-17 Flying Fortress, Part 1

Stock Number: CED48279

Reviewed By Floyd S. Werner, Jr., 26266

MSRP: $9.99 USD

The B-17 Flying Fortress is an aircraft that just begs for nose art, especially in 1/48th scale.  The latest sheet from Cutting Edge offers markings for three different aircraft.

The first is a B-17F-60,”Carolina Boomerang” which could have grayed out markings or red surrounds.  Also from the same group is “Stingy” a B-17G-1, which also sported  grayed out markings.  Nose art consists of a boy carrying bombs on a cloud.

The third aircraft is a B-17G-35, “Mary Alice”.  What is unique about this aircraft is that it has a Cheyenne tail turret, available in the Cutting Edge set CEC48417, and is painted in OD/NG.  The markings for this particular aircraft have been restored on an aircraft at the Imperial War Museum.

This sheet does not include any of the national markings.  You will have to get those from the national markings sheets, CED48262 or CED48263.

I recommend this sheet.  The decals can be obtained by contacting Meteor Productions at support@meteorprod.com or by phone at 703-971-0500.

Thanks to Meteor Productions for the review copy.
