About product

Aires 1:48 TBD-1 Devastator - resin wheels and painting masks

This Aires set in 1:48 scale brings resin wheels for a model of the Douglas TBD-1 Devastator and self-adhesive painting masks to go with them. It is not an aircraft kit but an accessory that replaces the plastic wheels from the box with a more faithful tire tread and a realistic sag, while the masks make it easy to separate the tire from the hub cleanly when painting.

The real subject

The Douglas TBD Devastator was a carrier torpedo bomber of the US Navy of the 1930s, a modern all-metal machine in its day. It became notorious for its heavy losses in the Battle of Midway in 1942, after which it was soon withdrawn from the front line. It remains an important subject for collectors of US Navy aviation of the early Second World War.

Usage and painting tips

Wash the wheels in lukewarm soapy water to remove the mold release agent from the mold. Separate them from the casting blocks by cutting and fit them to the landing gear axles with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Sand the resin with respiratory protection or wet. Stick the masks on, spray the hub color and then take the mask off, which gives you a sharp transition without any freehand touch-up.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of the TBD-1 Devastator who want realistic wheels
  • Modelers who appreciate clean painting thanks to masks
  • More experienced builders used to working with resin
  • Lovers of US Navy carrier aviation of the Second World War

It is supplied as an unglued and unpainted resin set with masks. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package.

Self-adhesive masks let you spray the wheel hub cleanly and get a sharp transition to the tire without any freehand touch-up.
