The Metallic Details B-17 Wheels with Cover #MDR4865 is a finely detailed aftermarket upgrade designed for 1/48 scale Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress model kits from Revell and Monogram. This set includes high-quality resin wheels featuring the distinctive cover disk design, allowing modelers to replace the standard kit parts with more accurate and sharply molded components. The resin construction captures subtle structural details such as wheel contours and hub features, helping to improve the realism of the aircraft’s landing gear assembly.
The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was one of the most famous heavy bombers of the Second World War. Developed by the Boeing Company, the four-engine bomber first flew in the late 1930s and became known for its durability, long range, and heavy defensive armament. Produced between 1936 and 1945, the aircraft served extensively with the United States Army Air Forces and Allied air forces, playing a major role in strategic bombing campaigns during the war. Over time the B-17 was operated by a wide range of countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Brazil, Sweden, Israel, Japan, and others in both military and post-war roles.
