About product

Armory 1:72 B-29 Superfortress mid production wheels with photo-etched hubcaps

A resin wheel set in 1:72 scale for a model of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber in the mid production form, from Armory. It is an accessory for a kit, not an airplane model. The tires are cast as weighted and according to the manufacturer's marking the package also contains photo-etched hubcaps, that is thin metal parts which in injection-molded plastic inevitably come out thicker than on the real subject. The mid production designation and the pair of letters RA tell apart forms of the wheel, of which several are supplied for this type. Check the scope of the set on the box.

The real subject

The B-29 Superfortress was the most advanced American bomber of the Second World War. The pressurized cabin allowed flight at high altitude without oxygen masks, remotely controlled gun turrets provided the defense, and four Wright R-3350 radial engines gave it enough range over Pacific targets. The aircraft was built across several production periods and the machines differed in details, because the engines, the equipment and the landing gear were fine-tuned as production went on. That is exactly why wheel sets for it are divided by production period and by the form of the wheel hubs.

Use and tips

  • Level the contact areas of the wheels so the model stands straight
  • Wash and degrease the castings before you start painting
  • Cut the photo-etched hubcaps off with a sharp knife and degrease them before painting
  • Seat the hubcaps with tweezers and gel cyanoacrylate glue
  • Paint the tire dark gray and set the hub apart with a metallic shade

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the B-29 in 1:72 scale
  • Builders who want to set apart a particular production period of the machine
  • More advanced modelers working with resin and with small photo-etched parts

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

No. It is a set of wheels for a model of the B-29, which you buy separately. The plastic parts of the aircraft, glue and paints are not in the package.

Thin metal parts that cover the middle of the wheel. In injection-molded plastic they come out thicker than on the real subject, whereas photo-etched metal has a thickness close to real sheet metal.

The manufacturer uses them to tell apart the form of the wheel by the production period of the aircraft and by the variant of the tire. What exactly the pair of letters stands for is not spelled out, so compare the set with the box before you build.

A sharp knife, tweezers and cyanoacrylate glue for the photo-etched parts, and a file to level the contact area on the resin. Tools are not included in the package.
