Eduard BIG49426 B-17F regular nose PART I is a unique set of accessories for the plastic model of the B-17F Flying Fortress aircraft in the popular 1:48 scale. This product is part of Eduard's prestigious BIG ED series and is intended for advanced modelers who wish to recreate the historical realism of the interior of the legendary “Flying Fortress.”

The B-17F Flying Fortress is a four-engine heavy bomber used by the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. This aircraft became famous for its durability, long range, and effective strategic bombing raids in Europe, including during the bombing campaign over Germany between 1942-1945.

The Eduard BIG49426 set includes four highly detailed photo-etched parts sheets, allowing modelers to precisely recreate the most important aircraft interiors:

• Pilot's cockpit: highly detailed instrument panel elements, seatbelts, seat details, and the assembly of the entire pilot cabin.
• Nose interior: photo-etched parts for the bombardier's and navigator's position, with improved equipment detail and the interior of the glazed nose.
• Radio compartment: complete equipment for the radio operator's cabin – radios, control panels, detailed shelves, wiring, and communication equipment.
• Waist section (side section): gunner station elements for the side gun ports, weapon details, and interior fittings.

All parts are made from high-quality photo-etched metal (PE), which provides unmatched precision and sharpness of details – much better than traditional plastic. The set does not include the plastic model – it is an advanced add-on for B-17F models from Eduard, Revell, or other brands offering the model in 1:48 scale.

Product category: photo-etched detail set for plastic scale model kits.

We recommend this set to experienced modelers who wish to achieve maximum historical accuracy and exceptional interior detail in their model. The set increases realism and allows for the "open hatch" effect, ideal for model competitions and dioramas. We rate the assembly difficulty at 4/5 – designed especially for advanced modelers and historical aircraft enthusiasts.
