About product

Armory 1:48 Mil Mi-24 Hind - wheels with weighted tires

A set of cast resin wheels from the Ukrainian brand Armory in 1:48 scale for the Soviet Mil Mi-24 attack helicopter. The tires are cast as weighted: they have a contact patch and a slightly bulged sidewall, as if the weight of the machine were standing on the landing gear. It is not a helicopter kit but a replacement part - the wheels from the original kit are exchanged for the castings.

The real subject

The Mi-24 is an unusual machine in that it joined two jobs that elsewhere are done by two types: it is an attack helicopter with an armored cockpit and heavy armament, and at the same time it can carry a whole squad in its cargo compartment. Soviet crews nicknamed it the crocodile because of the long sloped shape of its nose section. It is exactly that combination of armor, weapons, fuel and eight men in the cabin that makes the Mi-24 a heavy machine - and the weight shows most on the tires of a helicopter at rest, which settle noticeably.

Use and painting

  • Cut the casting blocks off with a saw and level the contact patch so that it stands on the base over its whole area.
  • Rinse the parts in lukewarm water with a drop of dish soap and let them dry.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); when sanding resin, protect your breathing.
  • Seat the main and the nose wheels so that the model stands on all three points without rocking.
  • Add dust and mud to the tires; Mi-24 helicopters worked from unpaved pads and a clean wheel does not match that.

Who the set is for

For more experienced helicopter modelers who are bothered by perfectly round plastic wheels on a standing model. The helicopter, the glue and the paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The tire is cast with a contact patch and a slightly bulged sidewall, as if the weight of the machine were standing on the landing gear. On a helicopter it shows at once, because it is almost always on the ground.

It is not. It is a set of resin wheels with which the wheels from the original kit are replaced. The helicopter, the glue and the paints are not included in the package.

The box names no particular kit. Dry-fit the seating on the landing gear legs before you start gluing, for that reason.

Point the wheel so that the whole contact patch lies on the base. If it stays turned to one side, the model looks as if it were floating - and that is why the wheels are bought.
