About product

Propellers with a jig for the B-17 Flying Fortress 1:72 (Quickboost)

A set of precisely cast resin propellers for the American Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bomber in 1:72 scale, together with a jig for setting the blades correctly. It is an aftermarket detail part that replaces the plastic propellers from the base kit with truer castings with the same blade setting angle. It is not a stand-alone airplane model but an accessory.

The real subject

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was an American four-engine heavy bomber of the Second World War, a symbol of daylight strategic bombing over Europe. It was powered by four radial engines with large three-blade propellers. The jig supplied helps to glue the blades at the same and correct angle, so that all four propellers look uniform.

Tips for use and fitting

Resin parts call for more careful work than plastic: first wash them to remove any release agent, separate them carefully from the casting block and bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Assemble the propeller blades with the help of the jig supplied to keep a uniform angle. Protect your airways when sanding and apply a primer before painting.

Who the part is for

  • Modelers building a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress in 1:72 scale
  • Anyone after truer propellers with a uniform blade angle
  • Builders who will appreciate a jig for setting the blades
  • Collectors of American aviation subjects of the Second World War

The part is supplied as a resin accessory, unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a resin detail part, that is an aftermarket accessory. The base kit has to be bought separately.

The jig helps to glue the propeller blades at the same and correct angle, so that all the propellers on the model look uniform.

Wash it to remove the release agent, separate it from the casting block and bond it with super glue. Protect your airways when sanding. The work is a little more demanding than with plastic.
