Scale faithful B-17F 'Miami Clipper' by Hasegawa 02462

The Hasegawa 02462 kit recreates the B-17F Flying Fortress known as the 'Miami Clipper' in 1/72 scale, with moulded surface features that support authentic paint and weathering work. The kit focuses on correct outline and panel detail to aid accurate finishing.

Suitable for experienced hobbyists, the assembly needs steady preparation and thoughtful painting to highlight the cockpit and external fittings. When completed with careful finishing, the model makes a convincing representation of a WWII heavy bomber for cabinets and veterans displays.

  • Scale: 1/72 representation
  • Material: Polystyrene plastic parts
  • Assembly Required: Yes - full kit build
  • Paint and Decals: Not provided in box
  • Cockpit Detail: Engineered for visible instrument and seat detail
The kit markings reflect the common nose art and unit codes for the Miami Clipper, but modellers chasing extreme accuracy should cross-check historical photos and adjust colours or decal placement as needed.
Use fine pointed brushes (sizes 0 to 2) and magnification for small details, plus a sharp hobby knife and fine sanding sticks to clean parts and seams before painting.
Yes, aftermarket photo-etched sets and resin upgrades are available for modellers seeking extra finesse on cockpits, gun positions and external fittings.
Specialist modelling paint brands offer WWII USAAF colour ranges; consult paint charts and reference photos to match base coats and camouflage tones for the B-17F.
