1/32 Metallic Details Pratt & Whitney R-2800 #MDR3243

The 1/32 Metallic Details Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Engine (#MDR3243) is a highly detailed aftermarket upgrade designed for 1/32 scale aircraft models powered by the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine. The set includes high-resolution 3D-printed parts that allow modelers to build one complete engine, providing a far more accurate and detailed replacement for simplified kit components.

The parts reproduce the distinctive two-row, 18-cylinder radial layout of the R-2800, capturing the complex cylinder arrangement and structural details that defined one of the most powerful and widely used aircraft engines of the World War II era. The precision of the 3D-printed components allows for sharp detail and accurate scale proportions, making the engine ideal for open cowling displays or highly detailed aircraft builds.

The Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp was one of the most successful radial aircraft engines ever produced. Introduced in 1939, the 18-cylinder air-cooled radial engine had a displacement of 2,800 cubic inches (46 L) and remained in production until 1960. Known for its reliability and high power output, the engine powered a wide range of fighters, bombers, transports, and patrol aircraft during and after World War II.
