This resin set includes:

  • four fronts of engine cylinders

  • four engine cowl rings

  • four cowling rings behind front cowling ring (2 left and 2 right)

  • four backside of engine with exhaust piping

  • small resin parts to further detail the engines

  • photo etched set for engine plumbing/wiring

  • decals for engine

There are 3 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  The instructions also include painting instructions and a decal placement guide.

You will be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.  They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

The B-17G had beautifully detailed air cooled engines and this set captures that detail very well.  The addition of the photo etch gives these engine that extra level of final detail to make your B-17 stand out.

You can buy this detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories.
