Historical and Technical Description

The B-17G Flying Fortress is one of the most famous American strategic bombers, actively used during Allied bombing campaigns over Europe from 1943 onwards. Renowned for its durability and firepower, its four powerful Wright R-1820-97 Cyclone engines were key to its long operational range. For years, modelers have strived for better representation of these distinctive powerplants – this Eduard Brassin set allows an exceptionally accurate depiction of both the engine details and the specific cowl and cooling flap components.

The set includes:

• 24 highly detailed parts made from high-quality resin
• Decal sheet
• Photo-etched parts for precise enhancement of details
• Separate nacelles and cooling flap rings for each of the four engines

The kit does NOT include painting masks. The resin and photo-etched parts are intended for advanced modelers who wish to elevate the realism and detail of their model. We especially recommend this product to experienced modelers looking to take their project to a new level of sophistication. The difficulty level of this set is rated 4/5 – basic experience with resin and small photo-etched parts is required.

Thanks to its highly detailed engine replication and the ability to upgrade the standard Airfix model, the set ensures a striking visual result and historical authenticity.
