This latest release from QuickBoost features a complete set of 4 resin engines for the B-17G Flying Fortress from Revell.   

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  Although this is 1/72 and these are tiny little engines, the folks at Quickboost have managed to recreate all the tiny air cooling fins on each cylinder.  These engines really are a sight to behold.  And there is detail not just on the front of the engine, but also on the back and tops of the cylinder heads.  So for anyone that is pondering removing the cowling to display an engine under repair or an engine in a crashed B-17 diorama, then these engines should be perfect for your needs.  And for everyone else that wants to have plenty of detail inside the cowling, then these engines will give you plenty of detail for very little money.

I really like the look and detail on these engines and I remain baffled how Quickboost is able to create such fine detail on such a tiny scale.....they truly are masters at their art. 

You can purchase these and other fine resin detail items directly from QuickBoost

I would like to thank QuickBoost for providing me with this review sample.
