Consolidated B-24 D Liberator, Detailing set Cowlings with PW R-1830 Engines (3D-Printed) Scale 1:72 (Recommended for kit: Italeri) Metallic Details MDR7264 - For Model Aircraft Kits

Metallic Details MDR7264 is a 3D-printed detailing set for the Consolidated B-24D Liberator in 1/72, focused on cowlings and PW R-1830 engines. On a four-engine aircraft, uniform cowling lips and consistent engine faces are a key “repeat detail” area—this set targets that look across the nacelles.

This is an upgrade set only (the aircraft model kit is not included). It is recommended for the Italeri kit; final fit depends on your kit’s nacelle parts and how you plan to display the engine openings.

The B-24D uses multiple identical powerplant stations, so small differences in alignment become obvious when the model is viewed head-on. Treat placement as a consistency task: matching depth, centering, and angle across all nacelles gives the most realistic result.

For modelers: dry-fit each cowling and engine part against the Italeri nacelles before paint, and make a simple depth stop (a spacer strip or jig) so all engines sit at the same distance from the cowling lip. Check prop shaft centering (or the visual centerline) on each nacelle while adhesive is still adjustable, then prime and paint once the set is fully aligned.

FAQ

Is this set intended for the Italeri 1/72 B-24D?

Yes. MDR7264 is listed as recommended for Italeri and is designed for a 1/72 B-24D build.

What should I test-fit first: the cowling or the engine?

Start with the cowling against the kit nacelle to confirm the interface. Then test-fit the engine parts to set a consistent depth and centering across all nacelles.

How can I keep all four engines aligned the same way?

Use a simple spacer or depth stop and build one nacelle as a reference. Repeat the same seating depth and centerline checks on the remaining nacelles before paint.
