Airplane Weathervanes: This B-17 Airplane Weathervane is made of 14 gauge steel. The B-17 Airplane Weathervane is laser cut eliminating any unsightly welding producing a more attractive weathervane. Unlike some other brands that just show a silhouette, the B-17 Airplane Weathervane has laser cuts in strategic places adding dimension, style and detail to the weathervane.

- Zinc chromate plating is applied to the base metal for better adhesion, durability and rust prevention.
- An attractive antique copper vein powder coat is baked on the surface.
- A clear powder coat is then applied to protect against UV rays to help prevent fading and providing a durable and scratch resistant product.
