About product

F-8 Crusader wheels 1:48 (Eduard Brassin) - resin wheel set

This is not an aircraft model, but a resin detail set that replaces the plastic landing gear wheels in the base kit with truer castings. The wheels are made weighted, so the tires look realistic as they settle onto the contact patch. The brake hubs are done as separate parts for greater detail and easier painting. The set is typically completed by photo-etched elements.

What the set is for

It is made for plastic models of the F-8 Crusader fighter in 1:48 scale. Precisely cast tires and hubs push the result beyond the level of the parts from the box and make a rewarding, easily visible improvement to the landing gear.

Tips for working and painting

Wash the parts free of mold release agent, cut off the casting blocks and clean up the surfaces. They are bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Paint the hubs and the tires separately, with masking to help; at the end you can add dust and soiling with pigments. Protect your airways when sanding resin.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of F-8 Crusader models in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who want a realistic landing gear with weighted tires
  • Advanced builders used to working with resin and photo-etched parts

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

FAQ

No. It is a resin detail set of replacement landing gear wheels for F-8 Crusader models in 1:48 scale, not a kit.

The tires are shaped as if the weight of the aircraft were resting on them, flattened where they touch the ground, which looks realistic.

With super glue (cyanoacrylate). Before building, wash off the mold release agent and cut off the casting blocks.

The Czech manufacturer Eduard, in its aftermarket resin line Brassin.
