About product

Aires F-16 Fighting Falcon landing gear bays (1:48)

A detail set from the Czech maker Aires in 1:48 scale. It is not an aircraft model but a resin accessory: landing gear bays in cast resin, as a rule with a little photo-etch. A gear bay is the space in the airframe into which the landing gear retracts after takeoff and which is clearly visible on a finished model.

What the set contains and what it improves

The set replaces the shallow, simplified plastic bays with faithful castings full of the structure of ribs, wiring and hydraulics. The set is intended for the plastic F-16 kit from Hasegawa. Check the exact contents of the package and the number of parts on the packaging of the set.

How to use the set

Separate the parts from the casting blocks, wash them to remove mold release residue and degrease them. The space in the plastic usually has to be sanded out so that the resin bay seats properly. They are bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate); count on fine-tuning the fit. Wear a respirator when sanding resin.

Who the set is for

  • For advanced modelers with resin experience
  • For refining the Hasegawa F-16 kit (1:48)
  • For builders of models with faithfully detailed landing gear
  • For collectors of modern military subjects

An accessory for a kit, not a stand-alone model. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted; the kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

Gear bays are the spaces in the airframe into which the landing gear retracts. The resin set replaces them with a more detailed casting than a plastic kit offers.

For the plastic F-16 kit in 1:48 scale from Hasegawa.

No. It is a resin accessory. The F-16 kit itself has to be bought separately.
