About product

The Spitfire in 1:32: a ribbed tread and a three-spoke hub

An accessory wheel set for models of the fighter Supermarine Spitfire in 1:32 scale from the manufacturer Armory. It replaces the main wheels of the landing gear and brings the pair of features that the designation of the product carries: a tread with linear ribs and a hub with three spokes. The tires are made as weighted, that is with a slight flattening at the point of contact.

Why the tread pattern is an issue on the Spitfire at all

The Spitfire was produced for over ten years and in dozens of versions, and the details of the landing gear changed along with it. Smooth and patterned treads appeared in service side by side, as did hubs covered with a full disk and lightened spokes. The combination this set offers is among the more conspicuous ones: the spokes are visible at first sight on a large model and determine the overall impression of the landing gear leg.

Painting and seating the wheel

It comes out best when you set the tread and the hub apart by shade. Rubber is not hit with pure black but rather with a very dark gray with a trace of brown; the hub tends to be in the color of the underside of the fuselage. A circular mask or a brush with a supported hand will manage the boundary. The flattened patch belongs at the bottom and must be parallel with the base, as otherwise the finished aircraft will stand crooked.

Who the set is worth it for

  • builders of large Spitfires who are bothered by the soft casting of the wheels from the box
  • modelers who want to hit a specific production series
  • everyone who is building an aircraft with the landing gear down on the ground
  • collectors who are completing a display case set of British fighters

FAQ

It is not. It is an accessory set of wheels that you use during the build in place of the main wheels supplied in the box with the Spitfire kit.

The wheel is modeled as if the aircraft stood on it under its own weight: the lower part of the tread is flattened and the side slightly bulged.

The combination of the tread pattern and the type of hub decides. This variant corresponds to machines with a linearly ribbed tire and a spoked hub; verify the pattern from a photograph of the particular aircraft.

Count on cleaning up the mating surface and on a dry fit in the landing gear legs. They are painted separately and glued only after the coat of paint.
