Essential details has released 1:72 scale P&W R-2800 engine sets for the F6F Hellcat, F4U-1A/D and P-47D/M Thunderbolt as well as 0.5 caliber gun barrels in 1:48 scale


Here's to a productive month at Essential Details! Coming up with 4 new references in the 1/72nd and one in the 1/48th!

We have the pleasure of declining the engines for the F6F Hellcat Eduard at 1/72, with the bonus of clear exhausts for increased realism.
