This resin and photo etch set includes a complete R-2800-10 radial engine with 18 cylinders plus some engine cowlings.  You also get all the engine exhaust piping and a fret of photo etch for added engine detailing.

There are 4 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  

You will be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.  They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

This resin and photo etch engine is loaded with delicate detail including the cooling fins on the air cooled cylinders that will show very well on a finished model.

You can buy this resin and photo etch detail set and thousands of other items directly from the Sprue Brothers Models site They are famous for their prompt service.
