Gnome-Rhone 14M, Engines Detailing set (3D-Printed) Scale 1:48 Metallic Details MDR48275 - For Aircraft Kit Model

Metallic Details MDR48275 is a 3D-printed engine detailing set to build one Gnome-Rhône 14M radial engine in 1/48. This type of set is intended for open-cowling builds where cylinder depth and cooling-fin texture are visible.

This is an upgrade set only (the aircraft model kit is not included). The manufacturer lists the 14M as applicable to several aircraft types (kit fit and installation details depend on your specific project).

The Gnome-Rhône 14M is a compact 14-cylinder, two-row air-cooled radial engine. It appears on subjects such as Breguet 693, Gotha Go 244, Henschel Hs 129B, Focke-Wulf Fw 189E, and Potez 630/631 (application choice depends on the kit and version).

For modelers: dry-fit the engine inside the cowling early and check prop/gearbox clearance before paint. When cleaning parts, remove supports gradually and avoid flattening cylinder edges. Prime first, then paint the cylinders and crankcase separately; add washes after you confirm the engine sits square to the firewall to keep alignment corrections easier.

FAQ

Is this engine set made for a specific kit brand?

No. It is listed as a universal set for 1/48 projects that use the Gnome-Rhône 14M. Test-fit to your kit’s firewall and cowling parts and adjust mounting points if needed.

What is a safe way to clean and prep 3D-printed engine parts?

Remove supports in small steps and avoid twisting thin areas. A fine sanding stick and careful scraping can help maintain cylinder edges.

When should I install the engine in the build?

Test-fit early for alignment, then paint the engine as a subassembly. Final installation is usually done after the surrounding cowling parts are prepared and clearance is confirmed.
