B-17G Exterior 1/32
This is the final part in the long review of Eduard’s PE for the HK B-17G. We are sincerely and eternally grateful for their support; it’s been a long, rewarding couple of months doing these reviews!
This final set is also a simple one; exterior details that make a noticeable difference in the appearance of the surface sections. Included are oil cooler intake screens, panels, and overwing fuel doors and hinges for the aircraft. Certainly you can modify and open all the refueling doors (remember to keep the cigarettes 50 feet away) to add a lot of life to the model, particularly in a diorama setting.
Small point; the square latch always is toward the tail of the aircraft, in case the door latch failed or was not fully closed. This prevented the door ripping off in the slipstream or allowing a full siphon of fuel from the door in flight.
You may end up putting the diorama in its own room, based on the size of this model, but I digress… a small, welcome last set… the refueling doors in particular are much better than decal items.
More scoring of 10 of 10 to Eduard for this series of PE upgrades!. Again, hearty thanks for the review items and the IPMS leadership providing me the opportunity to review them!
