About product

Type 2 wheel set for the Martin B-57 Canberra in 1:72 scale

This is an accessory to a plastic kit, not an aircraft model. It consists of resin castings of the landing gear wheels in the second version, which the manufacturer offers alongside the basic variant. The division into types comes from the fact that long-serving aircraft had their tires changed for ones with a different tread pattern, and their hubs too, so the modeler can pick the version matching a particular aircraft in a photograph.

The real subject

The Martin B-57 was an American jet bomber built under license from the British Canberra. It differed from the British original mainly in the cockpit arrangement and the bomb bay layout, and in United States service it flew in bomber, reconnaissance and high-altitude versions. Those very differences from the British machine are the reason accessories for the B-57 are listed separately.

Fitting and painting tips

Wash the resin castings in lukewarm water with dish soap so that the remains of the mold release agent disappear. Cut the casting blocks off with a saw, sand the surface down and use respiratory protection while sanding. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue only. Apply a primer before painting, otherwise the paint holds poorly on the smooth surface. Do not spray the tires pure black; a dark gray shade with a faint dusty cast looks truer in scale.

Who the set is for

  • builders of American Cold War bombers in 1:72 scale
  • modelers who want wheels matching a particular period photograph
  • anyone wanting to get rid of the parting line and the soft detail of plastic wheels
  • builders who care about landing gear detail

The set is an accessory to a plastic kit. It is supplied unpainted; glue, paints and the kit are not included in the package.

FAQ

This is how the manufacturer distinguishes the second version of the wheels alongside the basic variant. The tire pattern and the hub detail differ, and the choice depends on the particular aircraft you are building.

Accessories for the American license-built version are listed separately, because the aircraft differs from the British original in a number of details. Do not confuse the set with the British version.

Wash the mold release agent off, cut the casting blocks away, sand it down and spray a primer. Only then the paint.
