About product

F-4 Phantom II wheels, late type, with weighted tires (1:48, Armory)

This is a resin wheel set in 1:48 scale for models of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II from the Ukrainian brand Armory. It is not an aircraft kit but a replacement for landing gear parts, with the tires cast in the bulged state. The manufacturer specifies the set for the late type of wheels; the Phantom was built for more than two decades and the configuration of the hubs and of the tread changed over that time. Check the scope of the package on the box.

The real subject

The F-4 Phantom II was created as a carrier-based fighter for the US Navy and ended up serving in every role from fighter through bomber to reconnaissance. Late versions of the type, especially the modernized machines operated into the 1990s, differed from the first batches in a range of details including the landing gear. The aircraft had tricycle landing gear with a nose leg and single main wheels; a weight of over twenty tons meant strong, high-pressure tires that had to take a very hard touchdown on the deck.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts in warm soapy water before building; mold release residue prevents the paint from adhering.
  • Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a cutting disc and do not snap the resin.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); solvent cement for polystyrene does not hold on resin.
  • The easiest way to separate the rim from the tire is a circular mask or narrow masking tape.
  • Before you glue the wheel on, compare the tread and the hub with photographs of the machine you are building.

Who the set is for

  • modelers who want the aircraft on a realistic flat contact patch
  • builders for whom the wheels on the injection-molded sprue are not enough
  • builders of late versions of the Phantom

This is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The manufacturer distinguishes the configurations by the period of the aircraft's production. This set is marked as the late type. Which configuration your particular machine carried, check against photographs.

Yes. The set contains only the landing gear wheels; you need to have the F-4 model itself.

Wash it in warm soapy water, cut off the casting block, spray on the primer and glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue).
