About product

RESArm 1:48 weighted wheels for the Grumman TBF (TBM) Avenger

This is a resin, 3D-printed detail set of main landing gear wheels for models of the American Grumman Avenger carrier torpedo bomber in 1:48 scale. It is not an aircraft kit but an accessory that replaces the plastic wheels from the box. The tires have a faithfully worked contact patch and a slight bulge where they touch the ground, so a standing model looks as if the weight of the aircraft really rested on the wheels.

The real subject

The Grumman TBF, designated TBM in licensed production by General Motors, was a rugged carrier torpedo bomber of the US Navy in the Second World War. The stocky fuselage, the roomy bomb bay and the heavy landing gear are characteristic of the type, and weighted wheels make its look on the ramp still more convincing.

Fitting and tips

Cut the parts off the print supports, sand the marks they leave gently and wash the set free of any mold release residue. It is bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Protect your airways when sanding resin. Painting over a primer base is recommended; hubs and tires are easily set apart in shade.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want realistic weighted wheels instead of the plastic ones from the box
  • Builders of standing dioramas and display case models in 1:48
  • More experienced modelers used to working with resin

The set contains only the resin wheels, not a whole model. Glue, paints and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is an add-on set of resin main landing gear wheels with which you replace the plastic wheels from the box on your model.

The tires have a worked contact patch and a slight bulge where they touch the ground, so a standing model looks as if the weight of the machine rested on the wheels.

Resin is glued with cyanoacrylate glue. First cut the print supports away and wash the set.
