Resin wheels for the Panavia Tornado in 1:48 scale, tire type a, from Armory will replace the plastic kit wheels with a casting with cleanly engraved tread.
Responsibility details are not available.
This resin set replaces the landing gear wheels on a Panavia Tornado model in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit of the aircraft but an accessory for building one. The manufacturer lists wheels for the Tornado in two forms according to the tire tread, and this item is variant a, so if you are building a particular machine from a photograph, compare the tread pattern before buying.
The Panavia Tornado is a twin-engined combat aircraft with a variable-geometry wing, developed by an international consortium and brought into service at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s. It was operated in strike, reconnaissance and interceptor versions and served for several decades, which means a great many differences between individual machines and periods. The landing gear wheels are among the parts that wear the most on a long-serving type, and that can be put to good use on a model.
After washing the mold release agent off the casting, cut the casting block off and level the surface. The hub and the tire are painted separately: the simplest procedure is to spray the whole wheel in the hub shade, cover it once dry with a circular mask or masking fluid and spray over the tire in dark gray. Pure black looks too hard in scale; a dark gray with a hint of dusting on the sidewalls is better. It is glued with cyanoacrylate, and glue the wheel on only once the landing gear leg is finished, so that it can be turned correctly.
The set is a modeling accessory, not a model of the aircraft. It is supplied unpainted and without glue; the base kit is not included in the package.
