Our expert's notes

A miniature B-17F aircraft model from director Michael Caton-Jones' Second World War film Memphis Belle. Model aircraft were used for the aerial group shots in which the bomber squadrons joined formation, passing high over Nazi-occupied Europe to their target.

Made of resin, with an expanding foam core and finished in the green and grey of the USAAF 8th Air Force, the bomber has various markings applied along the side, including the USAAF star and the tail registration 12425. Windows are painted on the plane, while the turrets feature plastic machine guns coming from the defensive position. Clear acrylic is used to give the appearance of fast-spinning propellers. Well used, the model shows some wear to the paint finish and has cracks across the wings but remains in overall good condition, and is sold on a custom-made display base. Dimensions (displayed): 100 cm x 135 cm x 70cm (39 ½" x 53" x 27 ½")

Estimate: £2000 - £3000
