About product

Armstrong Whitworth Argosy in 1:144 scale — resin wheels

A set of cast wheels with weighted tires for a model of the British Armstrong Whitworth Argosy transport aircraft in 1:144 scale, in the late version according to the box. It is not an aircraft kit but an accessory that replaces the plastic wheels from the kit. In 1:144 a wheel is only a few millimeters across and the mold seam left by the two plastic halves is hard to sand off it; a one-piece casting does not have one, and the tread and the hub stay crisp.

The real subject

The Argosy was a British transport aircraft with four Rolls-Royce Dart turboprop engines and an unmistakable twin tail carried on two booms. Doors opened between them at the rear, so cargo could be loaded and air-dropped from behind. It appeared at the end of the 1950s in a civil and a military form; the military machines served with British transport aviation and the civil ones carried freight. Each main leg of the landing gear carried several wheels, so that the aircraft could lift a load even from softer surfaces.

How to work with the resin wheels

Wash the parts in warm water with detergent so that the release agent from the mold disappears. Cut the casting block off with a fine-toothed saw and sand the surface flat; protect your breathing while sanding. Glue with cyanoacrylate, that is super glue; polystyrene cement does not hold on resin. Point the flattened part of the tire toward the ground and line both sides up. Spray a primer before painting.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of transport aircraft in 1:144 scale
  • Modelers who find the tiny kit wheels hard to sand
  • Owners of older molds with coarsely shaped wheels
  • Collectors of British transport aircraft in small scales

The set is supplied unpainted. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is not. It is a set of replacement resin wheels for a model of the Armstrong Whitworth Argosy in 1:144 scale. You have to get the model itself separately.

The box states the late version of the wheels. The machines were given landing gear changes during their service, so the wheels of the early and the late aircraft are sold separately.

The lower part of the tire is cast flattened, as if the weight of the aircraft were pressing on it. The model then does not look as if it were floating above the ground.

Super glue, that is cyanoacrylate. Polystyrene cement does not hold on resin. Wash the parts before gluing and get the release agent from the mold off them.
