Lockheed S-3B Viking, Engines Detailing set (3D-Printed) Scale 1:72 (Recommended for kit: Hasegawa, Revell) Metallic Details MDR7250 - For Model Kits Aircraft

Metallic Details MDR7250 is a 3D Printed Set for detailing the engines of the Lockheed S-3B Viking in 1/72, designed for Hasegawa and Revell kits. It targets the intake/exhaust area where deeper structure and cleaner edges are noticeable even on a compact 1/72 build.

Unique angle: the Viking’s twin nacelles make the engine area a symmetry checkpoint—if one side looks “deeper” than the other, it stands out quickly. 3D-printed parts help keep both engine bays visually consistent after primer and paint.

The S-3 Viking is a four-seat, twin-engine turbofan-powered jet aircraft manufactured by Lockheed. This set upgrades the engine detailing area only; final appearance depends on the kit breakdown and how much of the engine/intake depth is exposed.

For modelers: dry-fit the engine parts into both nacelles before painting to confirm seating depth and alignment. Prime lightly to preserve edges, paint interior areas first, then assemble and blend seams before final exterior coats. Re-check fit after primer, as thin paint layers can still affect tight joins in 1/72.

FAQ

Which kits are these engines designed for?

The set is specified for 1/72 S-3B Viking kits by Hasegawa and Revell.

Do I need to paint the engine interiors before assembly?

Yes. Painting interior areas first helps keep edges clean and avoids difficult masking inside nacelles after assembly.

Will the set change how the nacelles fit to the wings?

The set is intended to detail the engine area, but fit can be influenced by kit tolerances and paint thickness. Dry-fit both sides and adjust only the contact surfaces as needed.
