About product

Fairey Gannet wheels, late type, with a checkerboard tread pattern (1:48, Armory)

This is a resin wheel set in 1:48 scale for models of the British Fairey Gannet carrier aircraft from the Ukrainian brand Armory. It is not an aircraft kit but a replacement for the landing gear wheels. The manufacturer intends the set for the late type of wheels; the tires are cast with a checkerboard tread pattern and with the flattening of an aircraft standing on its gear. Check the contents on the box.

The real subject

The Fairey Gannet was a British carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft from the 1950s. It was powered by the Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba turboprop unit, made up of two engines coupled through a gearbox to two coaxial contra-rotating propellers. The pilot could shut one half of the unit down in flight and save fuel on long patrols without being troubled by asymmetric thrust. The aircraft had a folding wing and tricycle landing gear with a nose wheel. The AS.1 and the later AS.4 differed in the power of the unit and in their equipment.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts in warm soapy water before building; mold release residue keeps the paint from adhering.
  • Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a cutting disc, and do not snap the resin.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); solvent cement for polystyrene does not hold on resin.
  • The easiest way to separate the rim from the tire is a circular mask or narrow masking tape.
  • Compare the shape of the wheels and the tread pattern with photographs of the machine you are building.

Who the set is for

  • modelers who want the aircraft to sit on a realistic flat contact patch
  • builders for whom the wheels from the injection-molded sprue are not enough
  • builders of British carrier aircraft in 1:48 scale

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

The manufacturer distinguishes the wheels by the period of the service life of the aircraft. This set is marked as the late type; check photographs to see which version your machine carried.

It is not. These are resin landing gear wheels that replace the parts from the kit. You need to have the model itself.

Cyanoacrylate glue. Solvent cement for polystyrene does not hold on resin. Wash the parts and spray a primer before painting.
