Something new just landed at Matters of Scale—our first 1/72 scale engine set is here!

This is the Pratt & Whitney R-1830-92 Twin Wasp specifically for the C-47 Skytrain (Dakota)—a true WWII legend. This set includes two detailed engines and is a drop-fit for the Airfix and Heller kits (same tooling, just different boxes).

If you're building a 1/72 C-47 and want to upgrade the engines without a bunch of sanding or surgery, this is for you.

Designed to keep things simple while adding a nice level of detail.

More 1/72 goodies are in the works—this is just the start.
