Eduard B-17G Engine Set: engine 1,2,3,4

[Rick Griewski]

I bought this “Big Sin” set to be used on four projects (decided I have no room for a B-17).  So...  what is/are the difference(s) between the engines?  
 

thanks in advance

I believe the differences are in the cowl flaps and the exhaust manifolds. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong. I’ve no personal experience with them, but a good buddy of mine has been building a lot with the full resin/PE meal deal.

Yes, aside from the cowl flaps and the exhaust manifolds, the four engines are identical. The B-17 had two engines where the exhaust exited at the 6 o'clock position (outside engines), and then one at roughly 8 o'clock (inside port), and one at roughly 4 o'clock (inside starboard), all from the pilot's perspective.

 

HTH.
