About product

B-2 Spirit: resin wheels with weighted tires 1:72

A resin wheel set from the Ukrainian brand Armory for a model of the US B-2 Spirit bomber in 1:72 scale. The tires are cast with a flattening where they touch the ground, so the finished model really does settle on its landing gear. This is not an aircraft kit but an accessory for a kit you buy separately.

The real subject

The B-2 Spirit is a US strategic bomber built as a flying wing, that is without a fuselage and without vertical tail surfaces. Its shape and its materials give it very low radar reflectivity. It first flew in 1989, it entered service in the second half of the 1990s, and only a small number of machines were built, which makes them among the most expensive aircraft ever. The crew consists of two pilots. Because a flying wing carries all its weight in a single profile, the main landing gear has robust multi-wheel legs, and on a machine standing on the ground the tires are clearly weighted.

Fitting and painting tips

Wash the castings in warm soapy water, cut the casting blocks off with a saw and do not snap them. Resin is glued with cyanoacrylate glue; cement for plastic does not hold on it. Separate the rims from the tires by masking, ideally with a circular template. On a dark gray aircraft it looks best if you leave the tire a shade darker than the airframe and dust it only lightly: the B-2 operates from concrete, so heavy earthy soiling would not look plausible on it.

Who the set is for

  • builders of the B-2 Spirit model in 1:72 scale
  • modelers who are not happy with hard circular wheels in plastic
  • anyone interested in modern US equipment
  • builders of models displayed on a base

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

It is not. The box holds resin wheels as a replacement for the wheels from the plastic kit. Buy the aircraft model, glue and paints separately.

The flattening where the tire touches the ground makes it look as though the weight of the aircraft were standing on the wheel. The model then does not look as if it were floating on perfect circles.

It is not stated here. Check the scope of the set on the box and count on the landing gear legs staying from the base kit.

Instead of pure black use a gray-black shade and finish with light dusting. Separate the rim off with a masking template so that the edge between rim and tire is clean.
