Eduard 32397 B-17E/F Engines HK MODELS 1/32 – engine detail set for B-17E/F

The Eduard 32397 B-17E/F engines set is designed specifically for the B-17E/F Flying Fortress 1:32 scale model by HK Models. The set allows for an accurate reproduction of the engines of the iconic American WWII bomber, one of the most famous aircraft of that conflict.

The B-17 Flying Fortress, designed and operated by the United States, played a key role in strategic bombing missions across Europe. The E and F versions were in use from 1941 until the end of the Second World War. These aircraft took part in numerous operations—including raids on Hamburg, Berlin, and the industrial Ruhr Valley.

The Eduard 32397 set offers precise details of the Wright R-1820 Cyclone engines—one of the most recognizable radial engines of the era, which powered the B-17E/F. Thanks to the ultra-precise photo-etching technology using top-quality brass sheet, the manufacturer has achieved incredible detail in cooling fins, wiring, and fine engine components. The set includes parts to enable realistic replication of each of the aircraft’s four power units, significantly enhancing the visual authenticity of the finished model.
