About product

Wheels with weighted tires for the AH-64 Apache 1:72 (Armory)

The set is a resin accessory for a model of the AH-64 Apache helicopter in 1:72 scale, not a kit. The manufacturer lists it as wheels with two defining features: weighted tires, that is with a flattened contact patch as if the weight of the machine were standing on the wheel, and smooth hubs without pressings.

The real subject

The AH-64 Apache is a two-seat attack helicopter of American design with a tandem cockpit, fixed landing gear and a cannon under the nose. It has served since the 1980s and a number of armies outside the United States use it. The landing gear is of the tail wheel type: two main wheels under the fuselage and a small wheel under the tail boom. Because a helicopter stands on the ground and does not taxi over long distances, the deflection of the tires shows on it at first glance and gives the model weight.

Usage tips

  • wash the parts in warm soapy water before you start painting them
  • cut the casting blocks off with a saw and level the mating surface on sandpaper
  • bond them with cyanoacrylate glue, not with a cement for plastic
  • glue the wheel on so that the flattened part of the tire sits down on the base
  • leave the hub in the color of the machine and tone the tire toward gray, pure black looks flat

Who the set is for

For modelers who build helicopters in 1:72 and want the machine to really stand on its base rather than merely touch it. Fitting is quick and calls for no changes to the landing gear legs.

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 tire has a flattened contact patch as if the weight of the machine were standing on the wheel. The model then sits down on its base and does not look as if it were hovering.

It is not. This is an accessory that replaces the landing gear wheels. The base AH-64 model in 1:72 scale has to be bought separately.

The hub has no pressings and no ribs. The form of the hubs differs from machine to machine, so compare the shape with the subject you are building.

With cyanoacrylate super glue. A cement for plastic will not attack the resin. Level and degrease the mating surface first.
