About product

Wright R-790 Whirlwind J-5 engine 1:48

A detailed 3D printed resin model of the Wright R-790 Whirlwind J-5 radial engine from the manufacturer Lukgraph in 1:48 scale. The set serves as a faithful replacement for or addition to the powerplant of a model; thin steel cable for making the pushrods to the cylinders is usually enclosed with the parts. It is not an aircraft kit but a separate detailed engine for superdetailing.

The real subject

The Wright R-790 Whirlwind J-5 was a nine-cylinder air-cooled radial engine that became one of the most reliable powerplants of the turn of the 1920s and 1930s. It powered a number of aircraft of the time and became famous above all as the engine of long-distance record machines. A faithfully rendered engine is a conspicuous element of every model with its cowling open.

Use and tips

  • Wash the print resin residue off the parts and separate them carefully from the print supports.
  • Glue with super glue (cyanoacrylate); make the cylinder pushrods from the steel cable enclosed.
  • Paint the engine in metallic shades and emphasize it with a wash and dry brushing.
  • Wear respiratory protection while sanding.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of models of aircraft in 1:48 scale with an exposed powerplant.
  • Modelers of interwar and earlier machines with a radial engine.
  • More experienced modelers used to working with resin.

This is a resin accessory. The model of the aircraft, the paints and the glue are not included in the package.
