About product

Wheels for the Sukhoi Su-7B in the early configuration — 1:48, Armory

A set of resin cast wheels for 1:48 models of the Sukhoi Su-7B fighter-bomber, in the configuration matching earlier machines. The castings replace the plastic kit wheels and bring a sharper tread pattern and a better-defined wheel rim, including details that plastic usually has simplified by the mold parting line. The landing gear configuration changed on the Su-7 during production, so a split between an early and a later wheel makes sense. This is an accessory for a model, not an aircraft model.

The real subject

The Sukhoi Su-7 was a Soviet supersonic fighter-bomber with a swept wing, known in the West under the reporting name Fitter-A. The Su-7B version was created as the strike configuration for attacking ground targets and became the basis of a whole series of further modifications. The machine was built for high speed at low altitude; its short, heavily loaded landing gear was therefore one of its sensitive points and led to later modifications for operation from unpaved surfaces. The Su-7 served with the Soviet Air Force and with a number of other operators, and it saw combat as well.

Building and painting tips

  • Wash the castings in warm soapy water before gluing so that no mold release agent is left on them.
  • Cut the casting block off with a saw, level the remainder with a file and check the outline of the tire.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) — polystyrene cement will not bond resin.
  • Dry-fit the seating on the landing gear leg and widen the hole for the axle with a pin vise if needed.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers bothered by the mold seam and the flat tread of plastic kit wheels.
  • Builders who want the model to sit convincingly on its landing gear.
  • More advanced modelers — resin is cut and sanded, it does not shape like plastic.

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

FAQ

The manufacturer does not specify the difference. The landing gear configuration changed on the Su-7 during production, which is why the brand has separate sets for early and later machines; check against photographs of your particular machine which one fits you.

It is not. This is a resin accessory that replaces the wheels. The aircraft itself has to be built from a plastic kit.

Cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Liquid cement for polystyrene will not bond resin, because it does not dissolve it.
