About product

Wyvern — main wheel bays 1:48 (Aires)

A resin detail set, not an airplane model. This resin set from the Aires brand in 1:48 scale brings the bays of the main landing gear of the British Westland Wyvern carrier-based aircraft. It will replace the empty or shallow bays from the box with a faithfully worked structure with stiffeners, piping and wiring. The set is intended for experienced modelers; the base kit has to be obtained separately.

The real subject

The Westland Wyvern was a British single-seat carrier-based strike aircraft from the beginning of the 1950s powered by a turboprop engine with coaxial contra-rotating propellers. It served with the Fleet Air Arm and saw combat during the Suez Crisis among other actions. Its landing gear bays had a rich internal structure, which the resin casting captures precisely.

Tips for working with resin

  • Wash the parts free of mold release residue from the mold
  • Cut the casting blocks off with a saw, do not break them out
  • Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate)
  • Pick out the structure of the bays with a wash; protect your airways when sanding

Who the set is for

  • For builders of the Westland Wyvern in 1:48 scale
  • For experienced modelers with experience of resin
  • For lovers of landing gear bay detail
  • For those for whom the bays from the box are not enough

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

FAQ

No. It is a resin detail set of the wheel bays that will replace the landing gear bays in your Westland Wyvern model. The base kit has to be obtained separately.

They are the spaces into which the main landing gear retracts in flight. They are clearly visible on a model and a faithful structure markedly raises the realism of the underside of the aircraft.

Resin bays usually call for modifying the surrounding plastic so that they seat precisely. It is advisable to dry-fit the parts before gluing.

Rather not. Working with resin and modifying the fuselage or the wings are for a more experienced modeler with experience of this material.
