Wright R-1820 Cyclone Engine Detailing set (3D-Printed) Scale 1:72 Metallic Details MDR7267 - For Aircraft Model Kits

Metallic Details MDR7267 is a 3D-printed resin detailing set to build one Wright R-1820 Cyclone engine in 1/72. It is intended for projects where the engine face is visible through a cowling opening or where you want a cleaner radial “depth” effect than simplified kit parts can provide.

The R-1820 was used across many aircraft types, so this set works as a flexible engine upgrade for different subjects without tying the description to a single kit. It can be especially useful on models with open cowl flaps or thin cowling lips where the front row detail is easy to see (application is kit-dependent).

For modelers: dry-fit the engine behind the kit cowling early to confirm diameter and depth. Prime lightly and keep paint layers thin so cooling-fin detail stays sharp. If your build includes a prop shaft or gearbox face, check alignment before final glue to keep the prop centered.

FAQ

How many engines are included?

The product is specified as parts to build one Wright R-1820 Cyclone engine.

Will it fit every 1/72 kit that uses the R-1820?

It is listed as universal, but cowl diameters and mounting approaches vary. Dry-fit behind the cowling and adjust the mounting surface as needed.

What helps keep fine engine detail visible after painting?

Use a light primer coat and thin paint layers. A restrained wash around cylinder fins can enhance depth without filling the detail.
