The second in the series of R-2800 engines is this pair of late style power-plants. These are very nicely detailed and once you remove the resin pour stub, they are ready for installation in any of the seemingly endless number of aircraft that used this powerful twin-row 18 cylinder radial. For those wondering what the difference is between this and the 'Universal' engine reviewed earlier, it is in the size and shape of the magnetos. Those on this engine are somewhat small and round.
