Pratt & Whitney R-2800 late Engines (3D-Printed) Scale 1:32 Metallic Details MDR3233 - For Model Kit Aircraft

Metallic Details MDR3233 is a 3D-printed engine detailing set for the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 (late) in 1/32. It is supplied for building one engine, aimed at improving the radial engine face where cylinder definition and front-end structure remain visible.

In 1/32, an exposed or partially visible engine quickly draws attention. Swapping the engine is a direct way to sharpen the “mechanical” look without changing the airframe.

The R-2800 was used across a wide range of aircraft types (as listed by the manufacturer). This set supports projects where a compatible kit benefits from a more defined engine front and cleaner small-scale depth.

For modelers: dry-fit the engine inside the cowling early and check clearance before committing to glue. Prime first to reveal any layer lines or contact points, then paint and weather the cylinders as a separate subassembly. Final installation is easiest after you confirm prop shaft centering and spinner/cowling alignment.

FAQ

Is this set for one engine or a pair?

The manufacturer listing specifies one engine. Multi-engine aircraft may require more than one set.

Do I need to modify the cowling to fit the engine?

Fit is kit-dependent. Test-fit early and adjust gradually if the cowling opening or mounting ring is tight.

What is a practical painting order?

Prime and paint the engine as a separate subassembly, then install it after the cowling/spinner fit and prop shaft centering are confirmed.
