About product

Wheels for the F-4 Phantom II, early type, in 1:72 scale from Armory

A resin set of replacement landing gear wheels for a 1:72 model of the F-4 Phantom II fighter. This is not an airplane kit but an accessory for a model you already own. The manufacturer intends the set for the early type of wheel, and the tires are cast as weighted, that is with a flattened contact patch like a wheel under the weight of the aircraft. Check the contents of the set on the box.

The real subject

The F-4 Phantom II was an American twin-engine two-seat fighter originally designed for carrier service with the Navy, from where it spread to the Air Force and the Marine Corps as well. Over five thousand were built and it served with a number of allied countries for decades afterward. Because it was a heavy machine stressed for carrier operations as well, it was given massive main wheels, so bulky on some versions that they forced bulged covers over the landing gear bays in the wing. The type of wheel and rim changed during production, so the early and the later types are not interchangeable.

Use and building tips

  • wash the parts in warm soapy water to remove any mold release residue
  • cut the casting blocks off with a saw, do not snap them
  • glue with super glue; cement for plastic will not bond resin
  • sand wet and with respiratory protection
  • glue the wheel on last and turn the flattened patch toward the ground

Who the set is for

For builders of the early Phantom versions who want the correct type of wheel, and for anyone bothered by a perfectly round plastic tire on a model. Resin calls for super glue and careful preparation of the parts.

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 manufacturer intends it for the early type of wheel. The type of wheel and rim changed during production, so on later versions compare the shape of the rim against photographs of the real aircraft.

No. It is a set of wheels that replaces the plastic landing gear wheels in an F-4 kit you already own.

It was a heavy machine stressed for carrier operations as well. On some versions the bulky main wheels forced bulged covers over the landing gear bays in the wing.

Cyanoacrylate super glue. Cement for plastic does not attack resin and the joint will not hold.
