FirstLook

 

S.B.S Model has released a four-engine set for Revell's 1/72 scale B-17F and B-17G Flying Fortress kits.

 

 

The set is made up from eight 3d printed resin parts, but the small count does not imply any lack of detail. Quite the opposite in fact.

Four engines are provided.

The cylinder faces, pushrods, ignition harness, magnetos and more are moulded as a single piece for each engine.

 

 

Once the parts have been separated from the fine printing stems the engines will be ready for installation with no further preparation.

 

 

Printing quality is perfect too.

In additon to the single-piece engines, the set also supplies four sets of exhaust manifolds. These are printed as one piece each.

 

 

A small instruction sheet provides exact assembly sequence, referring back to the kit cowl flaps as required.

 

 

Painting directions are included.

 

 

Conclusion

 

These beautifully detailed engines will add a new universe of detail to the front end of your Revell 1/72 scale B-17F or B-17G kits. Cleanup and assembly will be very straightforward.

Highly Recommended.

Thanks to SBS Model for the samples
