Armory Models AW32318 B-17B/C/D/E/F Flying Fortress wheels w/ weighted tyres type “b” (FS) PE hubcaps 1/32

The Armory Models AW32318 detail-up set is designed for advanced aircraft modelers who wish to enhance their B-17 Flying Fortress models with the highest level of detail. The product is intended for 1/32 scale models and is particularly recommended for kits from HongKong Models. This set includes resin wheels with type “b” weighted tyres and meticulously reproduced hubcaps made from photo-etched (PE) metal, offering exceptional realism and historical accuracy.

• Scale: 1/32 – ideal for B-17B, B-17C, B-17D, B-17E, and B-17F models.
• Country of service: United States of America (USA).
• Historical period: World War II (1941-1945). The B-17 mainly flew during the conflict on the European Front, forming the backbone of the American bomber forces responsible for massive strategic raids, including attacks on Germany.
• Material: High-quality resin (resin model), with additional fine photo-etched metal parts (PE hubcaps) that maintain thin and realistic details.
• Product category: Detail-up set, resin upgrade type model, intended to enhance plastic model kits.
• Contents: 2 main wheels with clearly defined tread patterns and characteristic flattening to suggest the aircraft's weight (so-called weighted tyres), 1 nose wheel, and a set of highly detailed photo-etched hubcaps.
• Application: Allows you to dramatically accentuate the look of a B-17 bomber model – realistic tyres significantly improve the appearance of the finished model, especially in dioramas or airfield display settings.

Recommendation: We highly recommend this set to both advanced and moderately advanced modelers looking for top-quality details and full historical accuracy. The set features a moderate level of assembly difficulty – level 3/5. Assembly and fitting should not pose a problem for those experienced with resin and photo-etched parts. This product enables you to build a highly accurate miniature of the legendary "Flying Fortress," an icon in military aviation history.

An excellent choice for modelers seeking striking upgrades for WWII aircraft models—these are the details that truly make a difference!
