About product

Eduard F6F wheels 1:72 (resin wheels)

This is NOT an aircraft model but a resin detail accessory from Eduard in 1:72 scale. The set contains the main landing gear wheels for the Grumman F6F Hellcat fighter with a faithful tire tread and detailed hubs. The castings usually imitate a slightly flattened (loaded) tire, which gives the model the look of an aircraft standing on the ground.

The real subject

The Grumman F6F Hellcat was an American carrier fighter of the Second World War, powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine. It became one of the most successful carrier fighters of the US Navy in the Pacific. Its rugged structure and reliability made it a favorite with its pilots.

Building and painting tips

Wash the resin wheels free of mold release agent, cut the casting blocks off carefully and sand with respiratory protection. Glue with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Paint the tires dark gray (not pure black) and the hubs in the shade of the particular machine; dry-brush the tread to bring it out.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the F6F Hellcat in 1:72 scale
  • Advanced builders with experience of resin parts
  • Anyone after realistic wheels with a loaded tire
  • Collectors of details for American carrier fighters

This is a resin add-on set, not a model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
