1:125 Engines Pratt&Whitney PW 1127 G for Airbus A320 Heller kit

The real subject

The Airbus A320 is a twin-engine airliner for short and medium routes and is among the most widespread machines of its class. Several generations of powerplant succeeded one another on it during production, and it is exactly the engines that tell the individual forms apart at first glance. The PW1127G is a high-bypass turbofan from the newer generation of powerplants for the A320 family. Against the older engines it has a markedly larger fan diameter, and therefore a bulkier nacelle too, so the difference is noticeable even on a model in a small scale.

What the set contains

Engines in the PW1127G form for 1:125 scale, that is for the size in which the Airbus A320 kit from Heller is issued. These are finished parts intended to be swapped for the engines from the kit.

• PW1127G engines for 1:125 scale
• Intended for the Airbus A320 kit from Heller
• Finished parts to swap for the engines from the kit
• A larger fan diameter and a bulkier nacelle than on the older engines

Building and painting tips

Cut the excess material off with a sharp blade a little away from the part and carefully sand the rest back, so that the leading edge of the nacelle stays even. Wash and degrease the parts before painting. Cyanoacrylate glue will make a reliable joint with the kit; check the seating under the wing dry in advance, so that both engines have the same angle and the same standoff. It is worth spraying them separately and seating them on the model only once painted, because the inner side of the nacelle is then hard to reach. The particular procedure for preparing the parts is given in the instructions from the manufacturer.

Who it is for

For modelers of airliners who want newer generation engines on an A320 in 1:125 scale and do not want to laboriously rework them from the parts of the kit. The kit of the aircraft, the paints and the glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
