Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Engines, Detailing sets (Resin & Photoetch) Scale 1:32 (Recommended for kit: HobbyBoss) Metallic Details MDR3204 - For Aircraft Model Kits

Metallic Details MDR3204 Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Engine Detail Set includes resin and photo-etched parts for detailing one engine in 1/32, designed for the HobbyBoss B-24 Liberator kit. The set focuses on the engine front and layered relief, helping the radial engine area look more defined when viewed close-up.

This is an upgrade set only; the aircraft model kit is not included. The R-1830 is used across multiple aircraft types, but this set is intended around the HobbyBoss application, so final fit and placement should be checked against your kit parts and build plan.

For modelers: test-fit the resin engine parts to the kit nacelle and mounting points before paint to confirm depth and centering. Paint the main engine surfaces first, then add the thinnest photo-etched details near the end of assembly to reduce handling damage and keep edges crisp.

FAQ

How many engines does this set detail?

The set is intended for detailing one engine. If your project requires multiple engines, plan the quantity accordingly.

Is it designed specifically for the HobbyBoss B-24 in 1/32?

Yes. It is designed for the HobbyBoss 1/32 B-24 Liberator application. Using it with other kits may require additional fit checks.

What is a practical build order for resin and photo-etched parts?

Confirm the resin engine fit and alignment first, then add photo-etched details after the main geometry is fixed. This helps avoid bending thin parts while adjustments are still needed.
