Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress, Engines Detailing set (Resin, Photoetch) Scale 1:48 (Recommended for kit: HK Models) Metallic Details MDR4861 - For Models Aircraft Kits

Metallic Details MDR4861 Engines Detail Set adds resin and photo-etched parts for the Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress in 1/48, designed for the HK Models kit. The focus is the engine area, helping you keep consistent depth and detail across all four nacelles.

This is an upgrade set only; the model kit is not included. The B-17G’s multi-engine layout makes repeatability important, and this set is aimed at refining engine-face definition and small structural details around the nacelle/engine zone.

For modelers: complete one engine as a reference build first, then repeat the same step order for the remaining engines to keep alignment and “engine face” depth consistent. Dry-fit resin parts to the kit nacelles before glue, and add photo-etched parts after the main geometry is fixed to avoid bending thin details during handling.

FAQ

Is this set intended specifically for the HK Models B-17G in 1/48?

Yes. The set is designed for the HK Models B-17G in 1/48. Using it with other 1/48 B-17 kits may require additional fit checks.

What is a practical assembly order for resin and photo-etched parts?

Start with the resin components and confirm alignment in the nacelle area. Add photo-etched details after the resin fit is stable to reduce the chance of bending thin parts during adjustments.

How can I keep all four engines consistent?

Build one engine first as a reference and repeat the same steps for the remaining engines. Check depth and orientation at the same points on each nacelle before moving to the next stage.
