About product

Wheels for the B-29 Superfortress late production in 1:72

The 1:72 B-29 Superfortress late production wheels w/ weighted tires (GS) set from the Ukrainian brand Armory is a resin replacement for the wheels of the American Boeing B-29 Superfortress heavy bomber in the late production form. The tires are cast loaded, that is with a flat contact area such as real wheels have under the weight of the aircraft. It is an accessory for a kit, not an airplane model. The manufacturer's part number is AW72358.

The real subject

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was a four-engine heavy bomber with a pressurized cabin and remotely controlled defensive turrets, the most advanced machine of its class at the end of the Second World War. It was deployed above all in the Pacific. The main landing gear carried a pair of wheels in each nacelle, and at a takeoff weight of over sixty tons the tires deformed noticeably. The maker of the set divides the wheels into early, mid and late production forms, because they changed over the course of construction of the aircraft.

Use

  • Wash the mold release agent off the castings before you start painting.
  • Cut the casting blocks off with a saw, not with nippers.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue, as plastic cement will not bond resin.
  • Glue the wheel so that the flat part sits down on the ground.
  • Do not spray the tires black, as a gray-black shade looks truer.

Who the set is for

For modelers of aircraft in 1:72 who want the model seated on weighted tires. The loading is more plainly visible on a large bomber than on a fighter.

It is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The basic kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The casting has a flat area at the bottom such as forms on a real tire under the weight of the aircraft. The model then does not stand on seemingly inflated circles and the stance looks truer.

The manufacturer divides the B-29 wheels into early, mid and late forms, because they changed over the course of construction of the aircraft. This set covers the late one; pick the matching version according to your model.

Cyanoacrylate glue. Plastic cement for polystyrene will not attack resin. Wash the mold release agent off the parts first, or even the paint will not hold.
