PV-1 Ventura, Propeller Detailing set (3D-Printed) Scale 1:72 Metallic Details MDR7294 - For Models Aircraft Kits

Metallic Details MDR7294 is a 3D Printed Set for detailing the propellers of the Lockheed PV-1 Ventura in 1/72. It is intended for builders who want defined blade profiles and hub detail on a twin-engine model where both propeller assemblies are visible side by side.

Propeller blades are thin parts that can appear heavy in small scale. 3D-printed replacements are intended to provide finer leading and trailing edges after painting (kit-dependent).

The Lockheed Ventura is a twin-engine medium and patrol bomber designed and built by Lockheed. This set upgrades the propeller area only; final fit depends on your kit’s shaft diameter and mounting style (kit-dependent).

For modelers: dry-fit each propeller to the kit mounting point before painting to check depth and clearance to the nacelle. Prime lightly, paint blades and hubs as separate sub-assemblies where possible, then install the props late in the build to reduce handling damage. If alignment is loose, a short pin or drilled locating hole can help keep both sides consistent.

FAQ

Is this set intended for a specific kit brand?

No. It is listed as universal for 1/72 PV-1 Ventura kits. Dry-fit is recommended to confirm the prop shaft and hub interface.

Should I install the propellers before or after painting the airframe?

Install late in the build. This can reduce handling damage and help keep blade edges defined.

How do I keep both propellers aligned the same on a twin-engine model?

Use a consistent depth reference on both shafts and check blade orientation from the front. Make small adjustments before the glue fully sets.
