About product

The bombardier position and the turret interior for the B-17G, 1:32 scale

This is an accessory set, not a model of the aircraft. It concentrates on the nose of the bomber, that is, on the place where the most can be seen into the model. The glazed nose of the B-17 offers a view of the bombardier's station with its bombsight and, right behind it, of the interior of the twin-gun turret under the fuselage. An injection mold manages this space only in rough outline, because it is full of instruments, wiring and small equipment. In the large 1:32 scale the difference between suggested relief and separately cast elements is impossible to overlook.

The real subject

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was an American four-engine bomber. The G version is the best known and is recognized precisely by the chin turret under the glazed nose, which added defensive fire forward, where the earlier versions were most vulnerable. The bombardier sat right at the front and his station was glazed on practically every side.

Usage tips

  • First wash the resin parts in lukewarm water with detergent; that rids them of mold release agent residue.
  • Cut the casting blocks off with a saw and level the mating surfaces with a file.
  • Paint and finish the whole space before you close the fuselage halves.
  • Bond with super glue and apply a primer before painting.
  • Varnish the nose glazing and fit it last, so that it does not get dusty.

Who it is for

The set is for modelers who build the B-17 in a large scale and want the glazed nose to bear a close look. Working with resin is not complicated, but it differs from plastic and calls for planning the painting in advance.

It is not a model of the aircraft. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is not. It is an accessory set for the nose of a B-17G kit in 1:32 scale that you already own.

It is glazed on practically every side, so more can be seen into it than into any other part of the model. An injection mold manages only rough outlines there.

Before the fuselage halves are closed, and already painted and finished. Afterwards you will no longer reach the space.
