Resin wheels with three-spoke hubs and paint masks for the Spitfire Mk.IX in 1:48 scale from the Czech maker Aires. An accessory for a kit, not a model of the aircraft.
Responsibility details are not available.
Replacement main landing gear wheels in cast resin for building the Spitfire Mk.IX in 1:48 scale, completed by paint masks. The aim of the set is to replace the wheels out of the box with castings carrying a sharper drawing of the tread and the correct three-spoke type of hub. The package does not hold a kit of the aircraft.
The Spitfire Mk.IX was the version with a more powerful engine, which was produced in large numbers and served with many units. During service several types of landing gear hub and various patterns of tire tread appeared on the machines, so before building a particular aircraft it pays to compare them against a period photograph.
In 1:48 scale the parts are small, so work with tweezers and over a surface. Apply superglue in a minimal amount, or the excess will be pressed out around the hub and clog the detail. Before gluing, check whether the hole for the axle fits, and widen it carefully with a small drill if need be; resin sands away quickly. Washing free of mold release agent and a primer are necessary even with small parts. Lay the mask on only after the paint of the hub has dried completely, so that it does not pull it off. A final wash into the recesses of the tread will give the wheels depth.
This is an accessory to a build, not a complete model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
