The Eduard 648536 B-17G Superchargers 1/48 set is a high-quality modeling accessory from the Brassin series, designed for the well-known Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress bomber model in 1/48 scale by HK Models. The kit includes precisely crafted supercharger elements (superchargers) in the form of six resin parts, replacing the simplified plastic details found in the base kit. The product does not include decals, photo-etched parts, or painting masks, and focuses exclusively on the realistic reproduction of the engine intake system.

Historical Information

The Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress is a legendary American heavy bomber widely used during World War II. The G model, introduced in 1943, was one of the latest and most advanced versions of this aircraft. The B-17G formed the backbone of the strategic air offensives of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) against the territory of the Third Reich. The installation of superchargers enabled the engines to maintain high power even at high altitudes, which was crucial for bombing operations over enemy territory. One of the most famous B-17G combat episodes was the carpet bombing raids on armaments factories in Germany in 1944.
