Boeing B-29 Superfortress, Detailing set Engine Cars (Engine, Compressor Exhaust, Landing Gear Bays) Scale 1:72 Photoetch, Resin (Recommended for kit: Academy) Metallic Details MD7204 - For model kit Aircraft

Metallic Details MD7204 Detail Set combines resin (3D-printed) and photo-etched parts for the Boeing B-29 Superfortress in 1/72, focusing on areas around the nacelles and bays. It includes 4 engines, 8 compressor exhaust pieces, and 2 landing gear bays for the Academy kit.

The B-29 is a four-engine Boeing aircraft with prominent nacelles and undercarriage areas that are noticeable on a finished model. This set supports more defined detail in those zones while keeping edges and openings closer to scale.

For modelers: plan this upgrade early—engine and bay parts can affect assembly order. Test-fit resin components against wing/nacelle joints before using adhesive, and check clearance for gear legs and doors. Prime resin and metal separately, then do a quick dry run of the full nacelle/bay stack-up before final paint.

FAQ

Do I need to modify kit parts to use this set?

Some areas may require removing or thinning kit detail to make room for resin and photo-etched parts. Dry-fit each section first and adjust only where it interferes.

What should I check before closing the nacelles and wings?

Confirm alignment of the engine faces and compressor exhaust parts, and verify bay depth and gear-leg clearance. A full dry run helps avoid issues after paint.

How do I prepare resin and photo-etched parts for painting?

Wash resin parts to remove residues, and lightly scuff photo-etched metal for primer adhesion. Prime both materials before applying the main colors.
