-
Characteristic: It had a power output of around 2,200 horsepower, which was essential to power such a large and heavy aircraft.
Designed by Štefan Šerfözö. No plastic kit part can match the level of detail that modern 3D printing can offer. Our engine is based on careful 3D scanning and examination of actual Wright R-3350 Cyclone engines. This allowed us to capture even the smallest details such as ignition cables, cylinder details and fine ribbing that would be either invisible or simplified on injection molded plastic. Our engine thus adds an unparalleled level of realism to your model.
Precision and fit
With precision 3D construction, engine parts are designed to fit 1/48 scale B-29 kits without having to modify anything. This avoids the hassle of fitting, fusing and sanding, saving you a lot of time and frustration.
