We present the Hasegawa K7 BOEING B-47E STRATOJET BOMBER plastic model kit in the popular 1/72 scale. This detailed set from the Japanese manufacturer Hasegawa allows you to build the legendary machine that transformed the face of American strategic aviation in the second half of the 20th century.

Brief historical overview of the B-47 Stratojet

The Boeing B-47 Stratojet is an American long-range jet bomber, designed in the 1940s and entering service with the United States Air Force (USAF) in the late 1940s. It was one of the world's first strategic jet bombers, forming the mainstay of the US nuclear deterrent force during the Cold War—from the early 1950s until the mid-1960s. The B-47E was the most widespread production version used during this era. The aircraft was primarily designed to carry conventional bombs and nuclear warheads, and at the peak of the Cold War undertook numerous patrol flights and reconnaissance missions, including in Europe and over Siberia.

This model is recommended both for intermediate and experienced modelers who want to enrich their collection with an important historical bomber. We rate the assembly complexity at 4/5—the greatest challenge might be the precise connections of the wing parts and replicating pilot cockpit details.
