Bristol Mercury Engine (3D-Printed) Scale 1:48 Metallic Details MDR48236 - For Model Kit Aircraft

Metallic Details MDR48236 is a 3D Printed Set that provides one Bristol Mercury radial engine for 1/48 aircraft builds. It’s intended for projects where the engine face and cylinder detail are visible through an open cowling, a thin front opening, or during maintenance-style diorama presentation.

The Bristol Mercury was used across many aircraft types. This set is positioned as a universal engine upgrade in 1/48, allowing you to match the engine to your chosen subject as long as the kit’s cowling dimensions and mount style support the swap.

For modelers: before painting, test-fit the engine inside the cowling and check prop shaft alignment to avoid a “tilted” spinner. Prime the 3D-printed resin, then paint cylinders and crankcase separately for cleaner separation; add wiring only if your reference/kit layout supports it, and keep clearance in mind so the cowling still seats properly.
