Responsibility details are not available.
This is an add-on photo-etched set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard in 1:48 scale, intended for detailing the inside of the fuselage of the four-engined B-17G bomber. The basis is parts of thin etched metal that replace or complement the simplified plastic fittings of the kit, specifically the floor gratings and the boxes for machine gun ammunition in the fuselage area. The set by itself is not an aircraft model or a kit, but an accessory that is glued into a model built from plastic.
The Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress was an American four-engined heavy bomber of the Second World War, used above all for daylight raids over Europe. The G version is the most numerous and its hallmark is the chin turret under the nose. On the real aircraft the inside of the fuselage was the crew's working space: walkway floors, the stowage of ammunition belts and the boxes of rounds for the defensive machine guns were part of the fittings that can be seen on a model through the open apertures and gun positions.
Separate the photo-etched parts with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface, and never break them out with your fingers. Folds are more accurate in a photo-etch bender, or between two blades. Metal is not glued to plastic with modeling cement; super glue or a slow-setting epoxy is used. Degrease the parts before painting and lay down a primer, otherwise the paint will not hold on the smooth metal. Wooden surfaces look convincing when a brown oil or a wash is glazed over a light ocher base and an irregular grain is allowed to emerge. The metal boxes, on the other hand, will take a darker shade and gentle wear on the edges with graphite or silver paint.
This is an add-on set, not a model kit. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
