About product

C-47 Dakota engines 1:72 (Quickboost)

A resin detail set, not an airplane kit. This finely cast resin set replaces the radial engines of the American twin-engine Douglas C-47 Skytrain transport aircraft, also known as the Dakota, in 1:72 scale. The type was powered by air-cooled Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp radial engines. The castings render the cylinders and the lines faithfully, where the base plastic handles them in simplified form. The set is intended for more advanced modelers with resin experience.

What the set is for

On a transport aircraft the engines in their ring cowlings are clearly visible and their fidelity lifts the overall impression. The resin castings offer a finer radial structure than plastic parts and, once painted in metal shades with weathering, they look realistic. They replace the simplified parts of the base kit.

Tips for working it

  • First wash the parts free of mold release residue in lukewarm soapy water
  • Cut the casting blocks off carefully and sand the surfaces with respiratory protection
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue; ordinary cement will not bond it
  • Apply a primer before painting, as resin holds paint better once the surface is matted

Who the set is for

  • For builders of the C-47 Dakota transport in 1:72 scale
  • For more advanced modelers with resin experience
  • For lovers of a faithful engine area

This is a resin detail accessory, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. These are resin engines that complete a C-47 Dakota kit you already own. The base model has to be bought separately.

They have a more faithful structure of cylinders and lines than the plastic parts and show up better in the ring cowlings.

It takes a little experience. The parts are washed free of mold release agent, cut from the casting blocks and glued with cyanoacrylate glue. Sand with respiratory protection.
