About product

Wheels with a cross tread pattern for the P-51B/C in 1:48 scale

This item is not a model of the aircraft but a detail accessory for a build. It offers replacement main wheels for a model of the Mustang in the B or C version in 1:48 scale, in the version with a cross tread pattern. On a model standing on its gear the wheels are one of the most closely watched places, so a cleanly cast replacement for the basic part shows at first glance.

The real subject

The Mustangs of the B and C versions used tires with several different tread patterns during production and in service. Alongside the cross pattern there were oval and diamond patterns, so choosing the right type is one of the details by which a model can be tied to a particular aircraft from a period photograph. The B and C versions themselves were the first Mustangs with a Merlin engine license-built by Packard. It was that change which turned an aircraft intended mainly for attacking ground targets into an escort fighter able to reach deep over the continent with the bomber formations.

Building and painting tips

Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water before the build and let them dry. Cut the casting remnants off with a fine saw and level the mating surfaces by sanding wet with respiratory protection. Resin parts are bonded with super glue. A tire suits a dark gray rather than a pure black shade; dust the sidewalls lightly and run a thin dark line between the hub and the tire. Set the hub apart in color, and judge any flattening at the point of contact with the ground by the way you place the model.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of Mustangs of the B and C versions in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who care about the right type of tire tread
  • Anyone interested in American fighter aviation of the Second World War
  • Those who want to improve a model with a small, quick step

FAQ

In the tread pattern. Mustangs flew with tires of several patterns, and the choice follows the particular aircraft.

It is not. These are separate replacement wheels for a Mustang model in 1:48 scale.

A dark gray rather than pure black, with a light touch of dust on the sidewalls.

Resin parts with super glue, as ordinary cement for plastic has no effect on them.
