About product

Quickboost machine gun barrels B-17 Flying Fortress 1:72

Resin machine gun barrels of the Quickboost brand for the American Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bomber in 1:72 scale. This is not an airplane model but an accurate replacement part for more experienced modelers that takes the place of the plastic barrels from the defensive positions with castings with a faithful shape and a clean end. The row of barrels projecting from the turrets and the side windows is characteristic of the B-17 silhouette, so fine castings markedly improve the overall impression.

What the part is for

The B-17 was an American four-engine heavy bomber of the Second World War, famous for its heavy defensive armament spread across several gun positions. Machine gun barrels in plastic are molded with thick walls and with marks from the mold. The resin replacement offers a thinner and more faithful end. The part is meant to refine an existing B-17 model in the same scale.

Usage tips

Wash the resin parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove any mold release residue from the mold. Cut the thin barrels carefully off the casting blocks with a sharp knife or a fine saw and clean up the surfaces; protect your airways when sanding resin. Bond them with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Paint the barrels in a dark metallic shade and glue them on only at the end of the build, so that they do not get bent.

Who the part is for

  • For modelers building the B-17 Flying Fortress in 1:72 scale
  • For more experienced builders who detail the armament
  • For enthusiasts of American bombers of the Second World War
  • For those who want thin, faithful barrels instead of plastic

It is supplied as an unpainted resin accessory for completing a model. Glue, paints and the model itself are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. These are stand-alone resin barrels, a detail accessory with which you replace the plastic parts from the defensive positions in your own B-17 kit. The model itself is not included in the package.

Bond resin with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); ordinary plastic cement does not hold on resin. Cut off the casting blocks first and clean up the mating surfaces.

Best at the very end of the build and the painting, because the thin barrels are easily bent or snapped off while the model is handled.
