The Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp engine in 1:48 scale is a resin accessory — a fourteen-cylinder radial for finishing an engine mount. It is not a model of an aircraft.
Responsibility details are not available.
A resin accessory from the Ukrainian brand Armory, the manufacturer's part number ARACA4826. It is a standalone model of the Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp radial engine in 1:48 scale, not a model of an aircraft. Resin carries considerably finer detail than injection-molded plastic, so the cylinders, the heads and the pushrods stand out even without further work. You will use it where you want to have the engine mount exposed or the cowling swung open. The manufacturer also has the smaller Wasp Junior in the same line, the manufacturer's part number ARACA4822.
The R-1830 Twin Wasp is an air-cooled radial engine with fourteen cylinders in two rows of seven, supercharged and of about thirty liters. The take-off power of the widespread version was 1200 hp, and across the variants it ranged from 800 to 1650 hp. It was built between 1932 and 1951 and with more than 173 thousand units it is the most numerously produced aircraft engine of all. It powered the B-24 Liberator bomber, the DC-3 and C-47 transports, the PBY Catalina flying boat, the F4F Wildcat fighter and the British Wellington and Sunderland.
Wash the parts free of the mold release agent, cut the casting blocks off with a saw and level the faces; protect your breathing when sanding resin. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue. The engine looks best when the base is sprayed with a steel or graphite paint, the cylinder heads are set apart with a dark flat and the whole is drawn together with a black wash. Add the pushrods from stretched sprue or wire if you want to have them thinner.
For modelers who are building an aircraft with the cowling open or who want to improve the engine from their kit, and for collectors of standalone engines for a display case. Check the fit into your particular cowling on the box.
It is an accessory to a model, not a kit. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
