About product

C-47 Skytrain engines 1:72 (Quickboost)

A set of accurately cast resin radial engines for the American twin-engine transport aircraft Douglas C-47 Skytrain in 1:72 scale. It is an aftermarket detail part for the engine nacelles that replaces the simplified plastic engines from the basic kit, not a standalone airplane model.

The real subject

The Douglas C-47 Skytrain, known to the British and Allied air forces as the Dakota, was an American twin-engine military transport aircraft of the Second World War derived from the DC-3 airliner. It was powered by a pair of fourteen-cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp radial engines. It served to carry troops and cargo and to drop paratroopers.

Tips for use and fitting

Resin parts call for more careful work than plastic: first wash them free of mold release agent, separate them carefully from the casting block and glue them with cyanoacrylate. Protect your airways when sanding and cutting small parts. Apply a primer before painting. The engine cylinders come out well once painted in metallic shades and dry-brushed; check the depth of seating dry before closing the nacelles.

Who the part is for

  • Modelers building the Douglas C-47 Skytrain in 1:72 scale
  • Anyone interested in faithful radial engines in visible nacelles
  • Builders who want to raise the realism of the engine nacelles
  • Collectors of Allied transport equipment of the Second World War

The part is supplied as a resin accessory, unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the basic kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a resin detail part, that is, an aftermarket accessory. The basic kit has to be obtained separately.

The part is shaped for the American twin-engine transport aircraft Douglas C-47 Skytrain in 1:72 scale. We recommend checking the exact fit in a particular kit dry, because the offerings of manufacturers differ.

Wash it free of mold release agent, separate it from the casting block and glue it with cyanoacrylate. Protect your airways when sanding. The work is somewhat more demanding than with plastic.
