Boeing B-17F/G Flying Fortress is one of the most famous heavy bombers of World War II, widely used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) between 1942–1945 in strategic bombing raids on industrial and military targets in Nazi Germany and occupied countries of Europe. The G model, compared to previous versions, featured enhanced armament and improved turret protection.

Armory Models AW48344 was created with a focus on historical accuracy – inspired by authentic tires used in the 1940s (World War II). Each tire features individual details consistent with documentation, allowing you to replicate the actual operational wear of a real aircraft.

We particularly recommend this product to modelers striving for maximum realism and a striking appearance of finished models—both beginner and advanced military aviation enthusiasts. This set makes it easy to make your B-17F/G stand out in any diorama or collection, enhancing its display and collectible value.
