Quickboost QB72 574 is a resin engine set intended for the B-17G Flying Fortress Airfix model kit in 1/72 scale. This detailing accessory helps you enhance the depiction of the engine groups of this iconic American heavy bomber from World War II.

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was used by the US Army Air Forces during World War II, particularly in strategic bombing campaigns over Europe. The B-17G version can be recognized in particular by its distinctive chin turret, characteristic of this late-variant aircraft.

Designed for the corresponding Airfix kit, Quickboost parts provide a resin replacement solution for customizing a 1/72 build. As with all resin parts, it is recommended to carefully remove them from their sprue, eliminate any potential molding seams, and then clean them before painting and gluing. A cyanoacrylate glue or a glue suitable for resin generally works for this type of accessory.

Engine finishing can be further enhanced with a fine primer, progressive paint application, and subtle weathering to bring out the raised details. This set is for modelers who want to deepen the level of detail of their B-17G Airfix.
