Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Engine Detailing set (3D-Printed) Scale 1:72 Metallic Details MDR7274 - For Model Kits Aircraft

Metallic Details MDR7274 is a 3D-printed engine detailing set to build one Pratt & Whitney R-2800 in 1/72. The practical focus is adding cylinder and front-face definition for open-cowling builds, or improving what is visible through cowling openings on radial-engine subjects.

The R-2800 was used across a wide range of aircraft types, and this set is listed as universal. Final compatibility depends on your kit’s cowling diameter, engine mount style, and how much of the engine is designed to be visible (kit-dependent).

For modelers: check cowling clearance before paint by dry-fitting the engine inside the cowling and marking any contact points. Prime the 3D-printed parts to reveal surface texture, then use light sanding only where needed. Paint the engine in sub-assemblies (cylinders, pushrod area, and front hub) and install it late to avoid handling damage during airframe work.

FAQ

How many engines does the set build?

The set contains parts to build one Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engine.

Will it fit under any 1/72 cowling?

It is listed as universal for 1/72 projects, but cowling diameter and mounting style vary by kit. Dry-fit the engine inside the cowling before final assembly.

What is a good painting order for a small radial engine?

Paint in sub-assemblies if possible: base coat the cylinders, pick out the front-face details, then add subtle washes after sealing. Install the engine late to protect detail.
