About product

Wheelliant 1:48 U.S.A.F. Wheel Chocks with a Nylon Thread (an Accessory)

This set is not an aircraft model but a small resin accessory for 1:48 scale from the brand Wheelliant. It contains wheel chocks of the American type, the kind that are put under the tires of parked aircraft so that the machine does not roll away. The chocks are joined to each other with a fine nylon thread, which in this scale stands in for the connecting rope and gives a scene credibility.

Use

  • Separate the chocks carefully from the casting blocks and wash off any mold release agent.
  • Paint them in a shade of wood or a warning color according to your references and bring them out with a wash.
  • Thread the nylon thread through and place the chocks by the main and the nose wheels of the aircraft.
  • Ideal for an airfield diorama or a plain surface under a model on the apron.

The real subject

Wheel chocks are part of the basic equipment of every military and civil airfield surface. On the machines of the US Air Force, chocks of the wooden type joined with a thread are used so that the ground crew can easily carry them in a pair. It is exactly such small things that set a model built straight from the box apart from a scene that tells a story.

Who the accessory is for

For builders of American aircraft in 1:48 scale who are building a diorama or want to complete a model with realistic airfield equipment.

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