The Memphis Bell movie is fantastic.  

You will sit at the edge of your seat from beginning to the end.  You can see the real B-17 Memphis Belle flying fortress at the mud island museum in Memphis Tennessee.  Remember, don't miss the Memphis Bell, you will love it.

 If you've never seen an aviation movie before in your entire life, you'll be blissfully ignorant of the fact that Memphis Belle shamelessly (and yet gloriously) incorporates just about every cliché in the flight-movie handbook. If you're a big fan of aviation movies--especially  movies about World War II bomber crews--you'll be glad that the genre's clichés have been handled with such professional flair. As it  follows the crew of a B-17 bomber on its final and most dangerous mission over Germany, Memphis Belle may be little more than a slick and highly authentic presentation of familiar thrills and characters, but it's a rousing piece of entertainment. Featuring an ensemble cast of  fresh faces who've since enjoyed thriving careers (including Billy Zane, Sean Astin, Eric Stoltz, D.B. Sweeney, and Harry Connick Jr.),  the movie exists as a fitting tribute to the men who fought and often died in the air over hostile territory. It's the Hollywood version of a 1944 wartime documentary made by legendary director William Wyler (whose daughter served as one of this film's producers), and as  such it's a bit contrived and melodramatic. And yet, this exciting movie is almost certain to grab and hold your attention, offering an  honorable reminder of the bravery and integrity that were crucial ingredients of any bomber's crew. --Jeff Shannon

Reviewer: C_Jeff_Dyrek from Bushnell, IL United States  The photo of this model isn't anything like the real model box. This is a rather large beautifully designed model that will give you hours of enjoyment building this kit. One thing that is great is to build this model while watching the Movie Memphis Belle. We did this with a  bunch of kids ..., we built model airplanes, watched the Memphis Belle movie, then went to the Quad Cities Air Show and not only watched the real airplane fly, we walked through the real B-17. I now hang this model in my office and when the kids come in, they look at it and  remember some great times. I personally recommend this model for some great edutainment thing that is great is to build this model while watching the Movie Memphis Belle.
