Boeing B-29 Superfortress, Propellers set late type (3D-Printed) Scale 1:72 Metallic Details MDR7281 - For Aircraft Models Kits

Metallic Details MDR7281 is a 3D-printed propeller set for the Boeing B-29 Superfortress in 1/72. The set provides parts to detail four late-type propellers, which helps keep blade shape and pitch consistent across all engines on a finished model.

This is an aftermarket upgrade set only; the aircraft kit is not included.

Propellers sit at the very front of the build and can draw attention to blade thickness and leading-edge profile. This set is intended for B-29 projects where the late-type propeller style matches the chosen configuration (kit and version dependent).

For modelers: test-fit the prop hubs to your kit’s engine/shaft diameter before painting. Paint blades as a separate subassembly, then add the hub and keep all four propellers aligned by using a simple template: rest each blade tip on a flat card at the same height while the hub joint sets.

FAQ

What does “late-type propellers” mean for this set?

It indicates the propeller style intended for later-configuration B-29 builds. Confirm your kit instructions and references for the propeller type used on your chosen version.

Will these fit any 1/72 B-29 kit?

The set is listed as Any / Universal, but prop shaft diameter and hub mounting can differ by tooling. Dry-fit the hub to the kit mount before final installation.

How can I keep all four propellers looking uniform?

Use one painted propeller as a reference for blade angle and finish, and install the remaining three to match. A simple height template helps keep blade tips even during assembly.
