About product

Idler wheel for the BT-7 in 1:48 scale

A detail accessory for builders of the Soviet BT-7 fast tank in 1:48 scale. It replaces the idler wheel from the kit's sprue and makes the front part of the running gear more accurate. A model of the tank is not included in the package: you are buying a separate part for a build.

What the accessory is for

On the tanks of the BT series the idler wheel is placed at the front and together with the first road wheel it decides how the track runs and how it is tensioned. Its outline and its lightening holes are among the characteristic marks of the whole series, so they tell on the truth of the running gear a great deal. The smaller 1:48 scale puts the stress mainly on a clean outline and on being in line: detail that stands out in 1:35 is replaced here by an accurate silhouette.

Installation tips

  • clean the part and remove any remains left from casting before the dry fit
  • compare the diameter and the width with the original kit part, so that the track seats
  • drill out or clean the seating of the axle, so that the wheel does not sit crooked
  • paint the wheel separately, while you can reach it from all sides
  • at the smaller scale choose thinner paint, so that the edges are not lost

Who the accessory is for

It will be appreciated by modelers who build vehicles in 1:48 scale and want the running gear worked as carefully as the hull and the turret. Fitting is undemanding, but count on working with a small part, that is with tweezers and good light.

The accessory is supplied unpainted and is meant for the build of a model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is only an idler wheel of the running gear as an accessory for a build. You need to have your own base kit.

Before buying, compare the diameter of the wheel and the seating of the axle with the parts of your model.

Yes, if the running gear is visible on the finished model. At the smaller scale what matters is mainly the accurate outline of the wheel and its being in line with the other wheels.

Check the number of pieces and the material on the box.
