About product

Continental O-170-3 engine for the L-4 Grasshopper (1:48)

This resin, 3D printed set brings a finely made Continental O-170-3 engine for a model of the light observation and liaison aircraft L-4 Grasshopper. It is not an aircraft kit but a detail set for more experienced modelers. The engine is printed as a fine one-piece whole already with its mounts, the firewall and the plumbing; the engine cowlings are separate.

The real subject

The L-4 Grasshopper was the military version of the light Piper Cub aircraft, widely used in the Second World War for artillery spotting, observation and liaison. It was powered by a flat air-cooled four-cylinder Continental engine.

Tips for working and painting

Wash the print resin residue off the parts and separate them from the print supports. It is bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate). With the engine exposed it is worth adding ignition leads from fine wire (not included). Wear respiratory protection while sanding. Bring the engine out with a wash and a dry brush.

Who the set is for

  • More experienced modelers building the L-4 Grasshopper in 1:48
  • Anyone interested in an exposed, detailed engine bay
  • Builders who work with resin

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The model itself, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No, it is a detailed 3D printed resin engine set with cowlings for an existing L-4 Grasshopper model.

No; for a faithful exposed engine it is worth adding them from fine wire, which is not in the set.

For more experienced modelers, since working with resin and an exposed engine calls for precision.
