About product

Weighted wheels for the Ilyushin Il-2 in the late configuration — 1:48, Armory

A set of cast wheels with weighted tires for 1:48 models of the Ilyushin Il-2 ground-attack aircraft, in the late configuration. The tires are cast with a realistically bulged lower section, so the model settles onto its landing gear like a machine standing under its own weight. With the Il-2 that counts double: it was a heavy, armored aircraft that operated from field strips, so a bulged tire and a tread clogged with dirt belong to its appearance. This is an accessory for a model, not an aircraft model.

The real subject

The Ilyushin Il-2 is a Soviet ground-attack aircraft for attacking ground targets, whose forward section was formed by an armored box protecting the crew, the powerplant, the radiators and the fuel tank. Over thirty-six thousand were built during the war, and together with the later Il-10 it is the most numerously built military design in the history of aviation. In the West the reporting name Bark is used for it, while at home it was called the Shturmovik. Operation from field strips and its great weight make the landing gear one of its prominent features.

Building and painting tips

  • Wash the castings in warm soapy water; mold release residue would stop the paint from holding.
  • Cut the casting block off with a saw and level the contact surface so that the model stands straight.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); liquid cement for plastic has no effect here.
  • Paint the wheel rim and the tire separately and mask the transition with masking tape or masking fluid.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers bothered by the mold seam and the flat tread of plastic kit wheels.
  • Builders who want the model to sit convincingly on its landing gear.
  • More advanced modelers — resin is cut and sanded, it does not shape like plastic.

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 does not specify the difference and has a separate set for early machines. Check against photographs of your particular machine and its production batch which configuration you need.

It is not. The set contains resin wheels that replace the plastic parts. The aircraft itself has to be built from a kit.

Paint the wheel rim and the tire separately and mask the transition with masking tape or masking fluid. On a machine from a field strip it helps to add dust and mud on the lower section.
