Radial Engine Model Kits

Radial Engine Model Kits

Scale builders often finish a nose or cowl with a convincing engine face, and these radial engine model kits from Williams Brothers reproduce the look of classic radial and rotary powerplants for display on a model. The kits assemble into dummy engines that add realism without any running function.

Dummy Radial Engines

The Williams Brothers WASP dummy radial engine kit is offered in several scales, including 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, and 1/8, so it can be matched to different airframe sizes. A 1/4 scale Gnome 100hp rotary cylinder set represents an early rotary engine of a different style, giving modelers of World War I subjects a period-correct option.

Cylinder Kits

For smaller or partial installations, J-5 radial cylinder kits are available in 1/8 and 1/12 scale, letting builders add cylinder detail where a full engine is not needed. A partial ring of cylinders is often enough to sell the look behind a cowl, so these kits also help stretch a build budget.

Select the scale that suits your project from the kits shown here, and match it to the aircraft you are detailing.
