About product

Douglas A-1H Skyraider landing gear bay, 1:72, Aires

This cast resin set replaces the simply rendered landing gear bays in the kit with a finely detailed casting with faithful structure of ribs, piping and inner walls. It is a refining accessory to a plastic model, not a kit in its own right.

The real subject

The Douglas A-1 Skyraider was an American single-engine piston attack aircraft that became famous for the long time it could stay over the battlefield and for its great load of bombs and rockets. The A-1H version served with the US Navy and the US Air Force above all during the Vietnam War. Open, detailed landing gear bays raise the realism of a model markedly when it is seen from below.

Building and painting tips

Wash the parts to remove any mold release agent, cut off the casting blocks and fit them into the wing or fuselage; sometimes the surrounding plastic has to be thinned slightly. They are bonded with super glue, and gaps can be filled with putty. Spray the inside of the bays with a base color first, then bring out the detail with a wash.

Who the accessory is for

  • Modelers who want a realistic view into the landing gear bays
  • Builders with experience of resin parts and fitting them
  • Collectors of American combat aircraft in 1:72 scale

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package.

FAQ

No, this is a resin accessory that replaces the landing gear bays on a plastic kit you have already built.

It calls for fitting the casting into the wing or fuselage and sometimes for thinning the surrounding plastic, so it suits more experienced modelers.

With cyanoacrylate super glue, once they have been cleaned of mold release agent and cut off the casting blocks.
