Hydroplane Arado Ar 196, Cowling, Propeller and Engine Detailing set (3D-Printed) Scale 1:48 (Recommended for kit: Italeri) Metallic Details MDR48254 - For Aircraft Models Kits

Metallic Details MDR48254 is a 3D Printed Set for the Arado Ar 196 in 1/48, recommended for the Italeri kit. The set focuses on the front-end “stack”: cowling shape, engine area, and propeller parts—useful when you want sharper openings, more defined depth, and cleaner symmetry around the nose.

The Ar 196 is a floatplane reconnaissance aircraft with a very visible powerplant area, where small profile differences stand out. Upgrading these parts helps keep the nose section consistent and visually “scaled” once paint and weathering are applied.

For modelers: dry-fit the engine parts inside the cowling early to confirm clearance and centered alignment, then mark the final position before glue. If your kit uses a simple prop pin, consider adding a short brass rod or drilled locator for a stronger, straighter prop axis. Paint the engine and cowling interior before final assembly to avoid hard-to-reach areas later.
