Product description: Eduard 491181 B-17F nose interior HKM 1/48 is an extremely detailed set of photo-etched components allowing for a highly accurate reproduction of the interior of the nose section of the B-17F Flying Fortress bomber. The set supplements and significantly raises the model’s realism, detailing the bombardier’s cockpit, Norden bombsight position, side panels, seats, piping, as well as weapon controls and the radio operator’s equipment – everything found at the front of the fuselage.

The B-17F Flying Fortress is an American heavy bomber used during World War II by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). These aircraft became especially famous during strategic raids over Germany and the European campaign from 1942 to 1945. A faithfully recreated nose section greatly enhances the appearance of the entire model, as it contains key technical details unique to the earliest versions of the Flying Fortress.
