New Arrival: 1/144 Metallic Details C-141 Starlifter Engines for Roden Kit (#MDR14414)
We’re excited to welcome a sharp new detail upgrade to the shop: the 1/144 Metallic Details C-141 Starlifter Engines for the Roden kit (#MDR14414). Designed as a direct replacement for the kit-supplied parts, this set delivers a noticeable leap in realism for anyone building the iconic U.S. Air Force strategic airlifter in 1/144 scale.
Produced by Metallic Details, this resin engine set features crisply cast nacelles with refined surface detail, improved intake and exhaust geometry, and a far more accurate overall profile than the stock Roden components. The result is a cleaner, more convincing representation of the Starlifter’s turbofan engines—one of the most visually prominent features of the aircraft.
This upgrade is ideal for Cold War–era transport fans, Vietnam-era aviation modelers, or anyone looking to elevate their Roden C-141 build with minimal fuss and maximum impact. Whether you’re detailing an in-flight display or a parked ramp scene, the MDR14414 engine set adds that extra layer of authenticity that stands out even at smaller scales.
👉 Available now at GaelHobbies—perfect for modelers who believe transports deserve just as much detail love as fighters and bombers.
The C‑141 Starlifter Engines Detailing Set for Roden 1:144 Resin (also available as C‑141 Starlifter Engines Detailing Set for Roden 1:144 Resin) from Metallic Details is a small but highly useful aftermarket accessory set designed to enhance the 1:144 scale Roden Lockheed C-141 Starlifter model. Rather than being a complete kit, this upgrade includes finely cast resin engine components and a photo-etch metal detail sheet that replicate the jet engines’ structure with much greater fidelity than the basic plastic parts supplied in the standard Roden kit. The set’s resin pieces capture the complex shapes and contours of the C-141’s powerplants, while the thin photo-etched metal parts add crisp detail and surface definition, allowing you to build more accurate and visually striking engine assemblies. Supplied unpainted and unassembled, this detailing set is intended for modelers who want to elevate the realism of their Starlifter build by replacing or augmenting the kit’s stock engine components with higher-quality parts that better reflect the real aircraft’s mechanical intricacies.
