About product

The Mustang on wheels under load, form three

A set of main wheels for the American fighter in one forty-eighth, cast so that the tire seats noticeably at the bottom. The numeral three in the name determines which of the forms offered this is; with this type the tread pattern and the pattern of the hub differed according to the maker of the tires and according to the period of production.

A real subject with an exceptional range

The Mustang became famous as an escort fighter with an exceptional range, which accompanied bomber formations all the way to distant targets and back. A combination of an efficient laminar-flow wing, a large supply of fuel and a supercharged V engine had the credit for that. The machine was at the same time fairly heavy, which on a standing aircraft showed exactly on the tires.

Tips for fitting and painting

Free the castings of release agent in a lukewarm bath with dish soap. Cut the sprue off so that the cut falls into the contact surface, where it is then not visible. Seat the wheels with the flattened part perpendicular to the surface and before the glue dries stand the model on a flat board, so that both seat at the same time. The tread pattern comes off best when, after the base tone, you go over the edges with a dry brush and let a darker deposit into the grooves. Leave the hub lighter; the contrast draws out the whole part.

Whom to recommend the set to

  • builders of American fighters of the Second World War
  • modelers who compare a model with a period photograph
  • anyone interested in a small improvement with a quick result
  • those who are preparing a scene on a paved airfield surface

FAQ

The tread and the center of the hub differed according to the supplier of the tires and the time of production. The number in the name distinguishes those forms.

A photograph of the particular machine you are building will decide. By the pattern on the tire the form can be told fairly reliably.

It tends to be one of the simplest improvements of older molds. The mounting of the axle may want a slight leveling.

Pure black looks flat. A dark gray tone is more suitable, and once the edges are accentuated it shows the tread.
