Eduard EX688 B-17G antiglare panels (VE production) 1/48 HKM

Eduard EX688 B-17G antiglare panels (VE production) 1/48 HKM is a high-quality set of painting masks designed for modelers building the Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress bomber model in 1/48 scale, manufactured by HK Models. The mask allows for precise and convenient reproduction of the famous antiglare panels on the spine and nose of the aircraft, which were a characteristic finishing element of the B-17G used by the United States Air Forces during World War II.

The Boeing B-17G is an American heavy bomber from the World War II era, used by the USAAF in the European and Pacific theaters of war from 1943 to 1945. Famous for its long-range daylight raids over Germany, the B-17G was a development of the popular "Flying Fortress" that, apart from defensive armament, also featured special antiglare panels painted with matte black or olive paint—thanks to which pilots were less blinded by light reflections off the aircraft surface during flight.

The presented product Eduard EX688 is dedicated exclusively to HKM models in 1/48 scale, resulting in a perfect fit of each mask element to the model's panels. The masks are made from revolutionary, specially selected high-adhesion vinyl, which ensures easy application and hassle-free removal without leaving traces or damaging the surface of the model. The set contains precisely cut shapes allowing for quick painting of both upper and side panels, maintaining sharp, realistic edges.
