Atlantis Plastic Model Kit-Wright Cyclone 9 Radial Engine STEM

This kit is well made and the more work you put into it, the more interesting it gets. I combined two of kits to make the R3350!

Very nice model. Easy to work with and educational. You can watch some videos where the engine was detailed. Only problem I have is that it was mailed in a box that could hold three maybe four kits.

The model was accurately molded and most all parts fit properly. There was not a large need for trimming and sanding with the exception of a few areas to ensure the accuracy and appearance that I was wanting. For the price and quality, this was a great buy.

This model was fairly easy to Build / Assemble. The Engine itself was really straightforward. The only difficulties I had were as follows; The soft, copper colored plastic part that mounts to the front of the engine, is sandwiched between 2 plastic pieces that don't fit tight. The model glue I had and used would not bond to the soft plastic piece and the clearance between the two parts was more than the glue could effectively work at. I ended up drilling some small holes, where the "engine's" bolts would be and inserted some small brass dowels and used some 5 min epoxy to secure them. The other issue was the engine stand. the parts were really warped and I had to use a hairdryer to soften them up a bit to straighten them. The stand is still a bit wonky. The black wheels at the bottom do not have any keepers so I put the wheels on without painting and then melt riveted them in place by melting the axle's that extended out. I still have some touch up work to do but I'm really happy with the outcome.

Excelente modelo. Despacho rapido. Empaque ajustado al producto. Recomendado.
