Ilyushin Il-76, Engines Detailing sets (Resin & Photoetch) Scale 1:144 (Recommended for kit: Zvezda) Metallic Details MDR14415 - For Aircraft Kit Model

Metallic Details MDR14415 Detail Set upgrades the engine area on a 1/144 Ilyushin Il-76 build, designed for the Zvezda kit. On a four-engine aircraft, consistent nacelle depth and front-face definition matter—this set focuses on making all engine stations look equally crisp when viewed remember from the front and underside.

The Il-76 is a large transport with prominent nacelles; even in 1/144, the engine faces and nozzle areas can remain visually important. This upgrade set combines resin (3D-printed) and photo-etched parts to refine the engine presentation without turning the description into a technical narrative.

For modelers: treat each engine as the same workflow so all four match. Dry-fit nacelles to the wing first, then test-fit the upgraded engine parts for depth and centering. Paint interior depth areas early, add PE details late, and check alignment from a head-on view before glue cures.

FAQ

Is the aircraft kit included?

No. This is an upgrade set for the Zvezda 1/144 Il-76 kit; the aircraft kit is not included.

Do I need to upgrade all four engines the same way?

It’s recommended. On a four-engine subject, small differences in depth or alignment are easy to notice, so repeat the same steps for each nacelle.

When should I add the photo-etched parts?

Add PE after the main resin parts are fitted and painted. This helps keep fine edges clean and reduces the chance of bending small parts during handling.
