Brengun 1:32 Luftwaffe wheel chocks is a photo-etched set of chocks for the wheels of German aircraft of the Second World War in two versions. It is not an airplane model but a small accessory to a kit under construction or finished and to a diorama.
Responsibility details are not available.
A photo-etched set from the Czech maker Brengun brings chocks for the landing gear wheels of German aircraft of the Second World War period. According to the name the package holds two different types of chock, so you can choose the version that suits your scene better. The set is not an airplane kit in itself but an accessory that is added to a finished model in 1:32 scale.
Chocks were laid under the wheels of a standing airplane so that the machine would not roll away of its own accord on uneven ground, during an engine run or while mechanics were at work. On airfield surfaces they were utterly ordinary equipment, and in period photographs they are visible beside practically every parked machine. On a model they fill the same role optically too: a standing airplane with nothing around its wheels looks as if it were hovering, whereas a pair of chocks settles it unambiguously on the ground and gives the scene scale.
Separate the parts from the fret with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface, not by twisting them off. Make the bends in a photo-etch bending tool or along the sharp edge of a metal ruler, so that the edges are clean and parallel. The joints are held best by super glue applied in a minimal amount with the tip of a toothpick. Bare brass photo-etched metal needs a base coat before painting, or the shade rubs off. You can imitate a wooden version with a beige base and glazing with oil paints, and the metal parts with a darker gray with a fine wash and scuffing suggested on the edges.
The set is an accessory, not a model in its own right. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted; glue, paints and the base kit are not part of the package, unless stated otherwise.
