About product

The real subject

Wheel chocks belong to a parked aircraft as naturally as a towbar or FOD covers. On the deck of an aircraft carrier their role is even more important than on firm ground: the deck heaves, tilts and is slippery, and the chocks under the wheels are the only thing holding the machine in place. This set is based on the chocks used by Royal Navy aviation during the Second World War and in the postwar period.

What the set contains

The package brings a set of wheel chocks in 1:32 scale, produced by three-dimensional printing. On an object this small, printing manages sharp edges, picked-out surfaces and thin eyes for cords and handles, that is details that are otherwise hard to make.

Building and painting tips

  • Cut the remnants of the print supports off with a sharp blade a little clear of the part and sand the traces of them off lightly.
  • The parts are not polystyrene; they are bonded with cyanoacrylate glue or epoxy.
  • Before painting, wash them in lukewarm soapy water and let them dry.
  • Wooden chocks stand out when a thin brown glaze is applied over a light base and the edges are lightened.
  • Dry pigment on the lower edge will suggest that the chock is lying on the deck and tie it to the base.

Who it is for

The set suits any large model of a carrier aircraft that is to stand on a diorama or on a display base. It will also serve well to fill out a deck scene where the chocks lie ready to one side.

Terms of supply

The chocks themselves are supplied as described. The aircraft model, a display base, the paints and the glue are not part of the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

They are laid under the wheels of a parked aircraft. On a model they give away that the machine is standing secured, and they bring the scene around the landing gear to life.

Cut the remnants of the print supports off with a sharp blade a little clear of the part, sand the traces off and wash and degrease the parts before painting.

They are not polystyrene, so ordinary modeling cement does not take. Use cyanoacrylate glue or epoxy.

The number of pieces is not stated. Please check the contents on the packaging itself.
