About product

Armory 1:72 Su-25 Frogfoot wheels with weighted tires and a mudguard

A resin wheel set in 1:72 scale for a model of the Sukhoi Su-25 ground-attack aircraft from Armory. It is an accessory for a kit, not an airplane model. The tires are cast as weighted, that is with a compressed sidewall and a flat area that sits down on the ground, and according to the manufacturer's marking the nose-wheel mudguard is part of it as well. The mudguard is a distinctive recognition feature on the Su-25, because the aircraft was built to operate from unpaved surfaces. Check the scope of the set and which parts it contains on the box.

The real subject

The Sukhoi Su-25, NATO reporting name Frogfoot, is a Soviet subsonic ground-attack aircraft taken into service at the start of the 1980s. It was intended for close support of ground troops from low altitude, so it had an armored cockpit, duplicated controls for the important systems and a tough airframe able to survive a hit. It proved itself in Afghanistan and in further conflicts and still serves in a number of countries. The landing gear with low-pressure tires and the mudguards above the wheels let it operate from field airstrips where a more delicate machine would not cope.

Use and tips

  • Separate the wheels from the casting blocks and level the contact area so the model stands straight
  • Wash the castings in soapy water so that no mold release agent is left on them
  • The mudguard is a tiny part: seat it with tweezers and gel cyanoacrylate glue
  • Paint the tires dark gray and add the dust weathering of field airstrips

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the Su-25 in 1:72 scale
  • Builders who want true weighted wheels and the nose-wheel mudguard
  • Modelers with experience of resin accessories

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 Su-25, which you buy separately. The plastic parts of the aircraft, glue and paints are not in the package.

The aircraft was built to operate from unpaved field airstrips. The mudguard protects the airframe and the intakes from the stones and dirt that the wheel throws up.

They are cast the way a tire behaves under the weight of the aircraft: with a flat contact area and a compressed sidewall. The model then does not stand on a single point and looks truer.

The manufacturer does not state it. In practice the tire is painted dark gray instead of pure black and dust weathering is added, while the wheel rim is painted separately before it is seated.
