Resin wheels with weighted tires for the Ilyushin Il-2 in 1:32 scale, the early type, from the Ukrainian brand Armory. The accessory replaces the wheels from the plastic kit; the model itself is not in the box.
Responsibility details are not available.
A resin wheel set for a model of the Soviet Ilyushin Il-2 ground-attack aircraft in 1:32 scale. The box designates it for the early type of wheel. The tires are cast with a sag where they touch the ground, so the finished model stands on its landing gear under its own weight instead of resting on perfectly circular rims. This is an accessory, not an aircraft kit.
The Il-2 was a single-engine ground-attack aircraft with an armored forward fuselage that covered the engine, the radiators and the crew. From 1941 it was deployed against ground targets and became the most heavily produced combat aircraft in history. At first it was built as a single-seater, later with a position for a rear gunner. In Western literature the code name Bark is used for the type. The machines operated from field airstrips, so the soft tires of the main landing gear deformed noticeably on rough and waterlogged ground, and it is exactly this impression that the set carries over to the model.
Wash the castings in warm soapy water and cut the casting blocks off; do not snap them. Resin is glued with cyanoacrylate glue; cement for plastic does not hold on it. Separate the rim from the tire by masking: a circular masking template or a strip of tape rolled into a ring will help. Do not paint the tire pure black; a gray-black shade with fine dusting looks more faithful on a model. When fitting, take care that the flattened patch lies parallel to the ground, or the wheel will look tilted.
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.
