Im looking for dummy P&W R2800 radial models, parts, kits, whatever is available now, in 1/6-1/5 scale.

Feel free to post your R2800 creations and please explain how you made it, kit bashed, custom parts, the works.

Im looking to make one for my TF GS Corsair so Im looking for inspiration and hoping not having to start from scratch.

!!ALSO!! Does anyone have a CAD model of a R2800? Please contact me or if the file can be shared then please post a link or email info for it.

Williams Bros has a line of scale radials, but you will have to decide if the fit your requirements. http://www.williamsbrothersmodelproducts.com/rc.html

Scale Specialties may have something to get you started Chris. I used their 1/8 scale dummy radial kit in my Hellcat but they have larger sizes. By far the best I've found but still lots of room for super detailing, particularly if you intend to make a specific variant of the R-2800. I find them much easier to work with then the cast resin one piece units.

Thanks for the link, Chad. I may use the Scale Specialties radial in my current project.

Frank has cast dummy radials.
They are cast so they are heavy but weight is usually needed, anyway, on the nose.
They sand like wood and some grinding with a dremel grinder is usually needed around the engine shaft.
I get mine from Nick Ziroli's web site under scale items:
