About product

Wheels for the F-35B Lightning II in 1:72 scale from Armory

A resin set of replacement landing gear wheels for a 1:72 model of the F-35B fighter. This is not an airplane kit but an accessory for a model you already own. The manufacturer intends the set expressly for version B, whose landing gear is arranged differently from versions A and C, so for versions A and C use the castings made for them. Check the contents of the set and any painting aids on the box.

The real subject

The F-35B is the variant of the Lightning II for short take-off and vertical landing. Behind the cockpit it has a lift fan driven from the engine and a rotating exhaust nozzle at the rear, so it can operate from short strips and from the decks of smaller aircraft carriers. Because of that arrangement it differs not only in the internal layout of the fuselage but also in the landing gear: unlike the naval version C it is not stressed for catapult launches and arrested landings. Version B is used by the US Marine Corps and by several allied countries, which operate it from ships and from land bases alike.

Use and building tips

  • wash the parts in warm soapy water to remove any mold release residue
  • cut the casting blocks off with a saw, do not snap them
  • glue with super glue; cement for plastic will not bond resin
  • sand wet and with respiratory protection
  • spray a primer before painting, or the paint will not hold on the smooth casting

Who the set is for

For builders of modern combat aircraft who find the tread and the rim shape of the plastic wheels lacking, and for anyone finishing a model for the display case. Working with resin calls for super glue and careful cleaning of the parts.

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 intends the set expressly for version B, whose landing gear is arranged differently. Versions A and C therefore need different castings.

The manufacturer does not state it for this set. Do not assume a flattened contact patch, and check the version on the box.

No. It is a set of wheels that replaces the plastic landing gear wheels in an F-35B kit you already own.

Spray a primer, then the tires in matte dark gray and the rims separately; on the F-35 they tend to be light. Keep the weathering restrained on a model of a recently operated aircraft.
