About product

SBS Model — engines for the B-17F/G, upgrade set (1:32)

This is a resin (3D-printed) set for experienced modelers, not a standalone model. The set brings a complete set of engines for the four-engine bomber B-17F/G Flying Fortress in 1:32 scale and is intended to upgrade the large plastic kit from Hong Kong Models. It replaces the simplified plastic engines with faithful 3D-printed units.

What the set replaces

The Flying Fortress was powered by four Wright R-1820 Cyclone radial engines. The set reproduces all four power units with fine rendering of the cylinders, the finning and the plumbing; depending on the form it is completed by cast adapters for seating them into the engine nacelles. In the large 1:32 scale details like this are especially easy to see.

How to use the set

Separate the parts carefully from the casting blocks and the print supports, wash them to remove mold release agent and bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Protect your airways while sanding. The engines come out well once the metallic shades are painted and the plumbing is picked out; check the fit into the nacelles of your particular kit before gluing.

Who the set is for

  • For experienced modelers building the B-17F/G in 1:32 scale.
  • For owners of the large Flying Fortress kit from Hong Kong Models.
  • For anyone interested in faithful radial engines in a large scale.
  • It is not a model of an aircraft — it is an accessory.

This is an accessory set for a plastic kit, not a standalone model. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted; glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package.
