About product

Resin wheels for the F-111 Aardvark, early type, 1:48

This is a resin set of wheels for a model of the F-111 Aardvark in 1:48 scale, in the type the manufacturer describes as early. It is not a kit of the aircraft but an accessory that replaces the wheels from the plastic kit. The tires are cast as weighted, that is with a flattened contact patch like the one a standing aircraft has.

The real subject

The General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark was an American tactical bomber with a variable-geometry wing, brought into service at the end of the 1960s. It was built in several production batches and its landing gear parts changed during its life, so the early and the late main wheel differ from each other. Which of them matches your subject can be settled from period photographs of the particular machine.

How to work with resin

  • Wash the parts in warm soapy water before gluing, which removes any mold release residue
  • Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a cutting disc, do not snap them off
  • Glue with super glue, as resin does not react to cements for polystyrene
  • Protect your airways when sanding, as resin dust must not be inhaled
  • Apply a primer before painting, as a shade holds badly on bare resin

Who the set is for

For modelers who build the F-111 in 1:48 and want a landing gear with a flattened tire. A weighted wheel is one of the few details that everyone sees on a standing model, and it cannot be cast that way in a plastic mold. Check the contents of the package on the box.

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.

FAQ

This is how the manufacturer distinguishes the two versions of the main wheel that the aircraft carried in different periods of service. It therefore makes two separate sets for the same type, and the choice follows the particular machine.

The 1:48 scale is given on the box and in the manufacturer's part number of the set. A wheel from a smaller scale cannot be substituted, as the diameters do not match.

A standing aircraft has the tire squashed on the contact area, which optically settles the wheel on the ground. A part from a plastic mold is round, so the model looks as if it were hovering.

Wash the mold release agent off the parts, cut the casting blocks off with a saw, glue with super glue and apply a primer before painting. Protect your airways when sanding.
