Hydroplane Arado Ar 196, Engine Detailing set (3D-Printed) Scale 1:48 Metallic Details MDR48272 - For Aircraft Model Kit

Metallic Details MDR48272 provides resin (3D-printed) parts for detailing one engine for an Arado Ar 196 build in 1/48. The engine area on this subject is visually tight around the cowling, so improved cylinder definition and front-face structure help the model read cleaner once the cowling opening and prop assembly are in place.

The Ar 196 is a shipboard floatplane aircraft, and many builds show the engine front through the cowling opening. This set is intended as a universal upgrade for compatible 1/48 Ar 196 kits, with final fit depending on the kit’s mounting ring and cowling thickness.

For modelers: dry-fit the engine to the kit’s firewall/mount early and check prop shaft alignment before paint. Prime lightly to preserve surface texture, then use a thin wash to separate cylinder depth. If the cowling is a close fit, sand the inside edge gradually and re-test rather than forcing the parts together.
