Balsa Wood B-17 Bomber

Hello You’all,

New to this forum. I picked up this solid Balsa Wood B-17 Bomber. It has a 26” wingspan. I believe this is 1/48th scale. Silver paint is slapped on sloppy. Missing some brads (nails) that were used as machine guns in the turrets. Missing propellers and cowlings to include landing gear.

Anyone know of the manufacturer or anything about this model. I am guessing it is a child’s WWII era toy. Everything is solid wood except for the brads.

Thank you in advance for your response.
