Replacement wheels with weighted tires for a model of the Avro Vulcan bomber in 1:144 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Avro Vulcan was a British strategic bomber with a large delta wing, one of the three types of the so-called V force. According to the product name the set covers both the B.Mk.1 and the B.Mk.2. The machine is so large and sits so low that on a model the landing gear and the wheels make up a substantial part of what can be seen from a distance.
The package holds replacement wheels with weighted tires in 1:144 scale, according to the name in a universal version for both of the stated variants. A weighted tire has its contact face shaped as though the whole aircraft were standing on it, so the model does not stand on a thin line but on a small area, and it looks heavy. The number of pieces in the package and the material of the parts are given in the manufacturer's catalog sheet.
Cut the surplus material and the traces of production away with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand the remainder off carefully, so as not to spoil the shape of the contact face. Wash and degrease the parts before painting. They are not polystyrene, so cement for plastic models will not bond them; use super glue and the procedure given in the manufacturer's instructions. Glue the wheel on so that the flattening of the tire points down toward the ground and the axle is horizontal, otherwise the model stands crooked and the weighted effect works against you.
It suits modelers who are bothered that a large aircraft in a small scale stands on unloaded wheels from the kit. The aircraft model, paints and glue are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise; which kit the parts fit is to be checked in the manufacturer's catalog sheet.
