Bristol Blenheim, Propeller set (3D-Printed) Scale 1:72 Metallic Details MDR7290 - For Model Kits Aircraft

Metallic Details MDR7290 is a 3D-printed propeller detailing set for the Bristol Blenheim in 1/72. Propellers are one of the first things you notice on a twin-engine aircraft, and this type of upgrade helps refine blade thickness and hub detail where kit parts can look heavy after paint.

This is an upgrade set only (the aircraft model kit is not included). Fit is listed as universal for 1/72 Blenheim kits, but final alignment depends on your kit’s nacelle front, spinner (if applicable), and prop shaft diameter.

The Bristol Blenheim uses paired propellers, so matching blade pitch and “clocking” left-to-right is important. Even small differences between engines can be visible on a finished model, especially in front-on views.

For modelers: dry-fit both prop assemblies and compare them side-by-side before glue. Set a consistent blade pitch by using a simple paper template or a marked card, then lock the angle once you are happy with symmetry. If your kit uses a poly-cap or metal pin, check the hub opening early and adjust carefully rather than forcing the fit.

FAQ

Will this propeller set fit any 1/72 Bristol Blenheim kit?

The set is listed as universal for 1/72 Blenheim builds, but hub mounting and shaft diameters vary by kit. Dry-fit and adjust the mounting hole carefully if needed.

How do I keep both engines’ propellers looking symmetrical?

Build both props in parallel and compare them side-by-side. Use a simple template to keep blade pitch and spacing consistent between left and right.

Should I install the propellers before painting?

Many builders paint props separately and install them near the end. If your kit requires early installation, mask the hub area to keep the join clean.
