1/48 Metallic Details B-29 Propellers (Late) #MDR48114
The 1/48 Metallic Details B-29 Propellers (Late) (#MDR48114) set is a finely crafted aftermarket upgrade designed to enhance 1/48 scale models of the B-29 Superfortress. This detail set includes resin and precision 3D-printed parts that accurately reproduce the late-production propellers used on the famous World War II heavy bomber.
The set contains parts to assemble four complete propellers, allowing modelers to replace standard kit components with more accurate and sharply detailed propeller assemblies. The blades feature correct airfoil shapes and scale thickness, while the hubs are reproduced with precise detail, providing a realistic representation of the propeller systems fitted to later B-29 aircraft.
The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was one of the most advanced bombers of World War II, powered by four large radial engines and equipped with sophisticated systems for long-range strategic bombing missions. The aircraft entered service in 1944 and played a major role in the Pacific theater, including the strategic bombing campaign against Japan.
This detail set is ideal for modelers looking to improve the realism of their 1/48 B-29 builds, offering accurate propeller blades and hub details that enhance the overall appearance and authenticity of the completed aircraft model.

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.
