Paul, you were looking a way to make 3D versions of this correct?
It looks like they are Wright R-1820 Cyclone 9 engines.
here’s a pretty cheap one. it’s 1/48 so easy to rescale the file to 1/72 before you print it.
It’s just the engines though, so if you need a different cowling that would require you to either model it yourself or scratchbuild it.
You also were looking DC-2 propellers, correct? Anything else?
They have a 1/72 versions of the two varieties of Wright
Thanks for getting this rolling. I have two different 1/72 builds in mind. The first is the Italeri DC-3 back dated with the Wright engines circa 1937. The kit has the P&W engines used later on and for the C-47s. DB made resin coversion parts with the correct cowlings and I would love to get ahold of a set of those.
The other project is the MPM DC-2 kit which looks pretty good in the box. It has propellers that consist of a hub and three blades, butt joints of course. Mebbee I can make a good job of them and mebbee not. A nice set of propellers would be nice to have.
Lately I have been building 1/144 airliners that have all mamer of antennas depending on which airline it was and the time it was in service. A good set of antennas such as ADF footballs & ILS horseshoes would be very nice to find. Some of these may be better in PE.
