Eduard 648539 B-17G guns 1/48 HK MODELS – complete detail set for the armament of the B-17G bomber

The Eduard 648539 B-17G guns 1/48 HK MODELS set is a high-quality model accessory from the Brassin series, designed for the famous American Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress bomber used during World War II. The set was created in 1/48 scale, dedicated especially to the B-17G kit produced by HK Models, but it is also perfectly suited for personalized modeling projects in the same scale.

The set includes 39 highly detailed parts made from top-quality resin. The main advantage here is the faithfully reproduced Browning M2 machine guns, which served as the primary defensive armament of the B-17G, depicted with nearly every detail. The B-17G Flying Fortress, an icon of American strategic aviation, was used on a massive scale between 1943–1945 in carpet bombings over Europe, especially during operations over the territory of the Third Reich. The great need for protection against Luftwaffe fighters led to a well-developed system of turret and side-mounted defensive guns—here recreated with outstanding authenticity by Eduard. Each part in the set allows for precise finishing of gun positions, elevating the realism of the finished model to an unmatched level.

In addition to resin parts, the set also contains photo-etched elements that enable very accurate detailing—such as handles, guards, or small mounting hardware. Please note the set does not include decals or painting masks—therefore, it is intended for advanced modellers seeking top-quality details, who have prior experience in precision assembly and painting.
