1/32 Metallic Details Wright Cyclone R-3350 #MDR3257
The 1/32 Metallic Details Wright Cyclone R-3350 Engine (#MDR3257) is a highly detailed aftermarket upgrade designed for 1/32 scale aircraft models powered by the Wright R-3350 Duplex Cyclone radial engine. This set features high-resolution 3D-printed components that accurately reproduce the complex structure of this powerful radial engine, allowing modelers to replace simplified kit engines with a far more realistic and finely detailed representation.
The parts capture the distinctive two-row, 18-cylinder radial configuration of the R-3350, including the detailed cylinder arrangement and structural features typical of this advanced engine design. The precision of the 3D-printed parts ensures crisp detail and scale accuracy, making the engine ideal for open cowling displays or highly detailed builds.
The Wright R-3350 Duplex Cyclone was one of the most powerful radial aircraft engines developed during World War II. Produced by Curtiss-Wright, the air-cooled engine featured an 18-cylinder, twin-row radial design and was widely used on large bombers and transport aircraft. The engine became particularly well known for powering the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, where it provided the high power required for long-range strategic bombing missions.
Aircraft powered by the Wright R-3350 include:
• Boeing B-29 Superfortress
• Lockheed Constellation
• Convair B-32 Dominator
Set Features
• Designed for 1/32 scale aircraft models
• Includes parts to build 1 Wright R-3350 Duplex Cyclone engine
• High-resolution 3D-printed components
• Accurate representation of the 18-cylinder radial engine layout
• Ideal for open cowling displays and high-detail builds
This detail set is an excellent upgrade for modelers looking to enhance the realism of large-scale WWII and postwar aircraft models, providing a historically accurate and finely detailed representation of the powerful Wright R-3350 radial engine used on some of aviation’s most iconic aircraft.

The set focuses on enhancing the engine’s most visible features, including finely detailed cylinder banks, pushrods, ignition harness elements, and front-facing engine details that are often prominent on aircraft with open or partially open cowlings. The precision of Metallic Details parts adds depth, sharpness, and scale fidelity that molded plastic alone can’t match—especially noticeable when paired with careful painting and washes.
