Eduard 6481020 B-17F wheels diamond tread EDUARD 1/48 is a specialized accessory set dedicated to modelers building the legendary American B-17F Flying Fortress bomber in 1/48 scale. The product comes from the renowned manufacturer Eduard, known for high-quality modeling accessories designed for precise reproduction of historic machine details.

The B-17F Flying Fortress is one of the most important heavy bombers of World War II, mainly used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). The F version, introduced into production in 1942, was extensively used during the daytime strategic bombing campaign over Europe until the end of the war. Features of this version included diamond tread pattern wheels, used during numerous combat missions—such as the famous raids on Schweinfurt and Regensburg.

The Eduard 6481020 set includes a complete set of main wheels as well as a tail wheel, made from high-quality resin, which allowed for the reproduction of even the smallest details, such as the diamond tread, maintenance markings, and the sidewall structure of the tires. The kit also includes painting masks (precisely cut), which will simplify color separation while painting the tires and rims, thus enhancing the aesthetic quality of the entire model. The package also comes with clear assembly instructions, making the process of replacing the original plastic parts with resin ones straightforward and easy to follow.
