The B-17 Flying Fortress was one of the most important bomber aircraft of World War II, used by the American USAAF from 1941. It was renowned for its durability and ability to return to base even after sustaining heavy damage. The aircraft participated in numerous strategic bombing raids over German territory during the war. The featured “c” type wheels were among several versions used on later B-17 variants, notably on the F and G models, from 1942 until the end of the conflict.

The Armory Models AW72353 set stands out thanks to excellent casting quality and tread detail, as well as finely rendered rim features, greatly increasing the level of realism compared to standard plastic wheels. Easy assembly makes this product accessible even for intermediate modelers (difficulty level 2/5), while the precision and superb detailing will also meet the expectations of the most demanding aviation miniature enthusiasts.

The set will make your replica more attractive and realistic, helping your model stand out both in competitions and in your collection.
