About product

Armory 1:48 PZL W-3 Sokol helicopter wheels

A resin wheel set in 1:48 scale for a model of the Polish PZL W-3 Sokol medium helicopter from Armory. It is an accessory for a kit, not a helicopter model. The casting replaces the wheels from the plastic kit and gives the tread pattern and the shape of the rim more clearly than an injection mold can. On a helicopter standing on the ground the wheels are plainly visible, because the landing gear is not covered and sits at the eye level of whoever is looking at the model. Check what exactly the package contains on the box.

The real subject

The PZL W-3 Sokol is a Polish twin-engine medium helicopter and became the first helicopter designed entirely in Poland. It first flew at the end of the 1970s and is built in Swidnik. Two turboshaft engines power it, which raised safety as well as performance over its single-engine predecessors. The machine serves in transport, rescue, medical and military roles, and besides the Polish armed forces a number of further operators use it. A whole family of versions grew out of it, from search and rescue machines to armed forms.

Use and tips

  • Level the contact areas of the wheels so the helicopter stands straight on all of them
  • Wash the castings in soapy water and degrease them before painting
  • Set the tires apart with a dark gray shade, as pure black looks flat
  • Glue the wheels with cyanoacrylate glue, preferably the gel kind for the time it gives you to seat them

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the PZL W-3 in 1:48 scale
  • Builders who want to get the most out of the detail of the uncovered landing gear
  • Modelers with experience of resin accessories

It is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The basic kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
