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.
