About product

The French Gnome-Rhone 14K engine in 1:32 scale

An engine accessory for large aircraft models of the interwar era. What is on offer here is a power unit for detailing a machine in progress, not a model of an aircraft.

What made the fourteen-cylinder series exceptional

The Gnome-Rhone 14K, carrying the byname Mistral Major, is an air-cooled engine with fourteen cylinders arranged in two radial banks one behind the other. It came about at the beginning of the 1930s and the French marque sold it abroad very successfully, so it was built under license in Poland, Romania, Italy, Japan and in the Soviet Union, where a whole development branch of its own grew out of it. That is exactly why you will meet its characteristic double bank on machines that otherwise have nothing in common with each other, from fighters to transport airplanes.

Advice on detailing and painting

The two-row arrangement means that the rear bank of cylinders will be largely invisible once the cowling is on, so devote the main attention to the front bank and to the drives. Liven up the metal base with a light show-through of a darker color between the fins and polish the cylinder heads with graphite. Suggest oil traces with a stippled thinned dark shade, not with a continuous layer.

Who the engine suits

  • Builders of interwar French and Polish types
  • Modelers building a scene with an open engine compartment
  • Those who want to replace a coarsely shaped dummy
  • Anyone interested in power units built under license

FAQ

They are two generations of the same engine series, and the 14N is the later stage of development. Choose according to which power unit your particular machine had.

With the cowling closed only the front bank of cylinders. It comes into its own fully on a model with a stripped front end or in a diorama scene.

The name speaks of the engine only. Deal with the propeller and the spinner from the kit or with a separate accessory.
