Douglas A-1 Skyraider, Wright R-3350-26WA Engine Detailing set (3D-Printed) Scale 1:72 Metallic Details MDR7282 - For Model Kits Aircraft

Metallic Details MDR7282 is a 3D-printed resin engine detailing set for the Douglas A-1 Skyraider in 1/72, focused on the Wright R-3350-26WA. It is intended to improve the engine-front look where cylinder rows and depth are visible through the cowling opening.

This is an upgrade set only (the model kit is not included). It is listed as Any/Universal, so final fit depends on how your specific kit represents the firewall, mounting ring, and prop shaft location.

For modelers: dry-fit the engine against the kit firewall and inside the cowling before painting. Check prop shaft centering and how far the engine sits from the cowling lip; a small change in mounting depth can improve the overall look. Prime first, then use thin paint layers so the cylinder edges stay defined.

FAQ

Is this set made for a specific 1/72 kit brand?

No. It is listed as Any/Universal, so confirm diameter, mounting depth, and prop shaft alignment against your kit parts before glue.

Should I install the engine before closing the fuselage?

Test-fit early, but it is often easier to keep the engine as a separate subassembly until the cowling and firewall area are finalized.

What is the quickest fit check?

Place the engine with the firewall and cowling temporarily in position. Check that the prop axis stays centered and that the engine face sits at the depth you want, then adjust the mounting surface if needed.
