1:72 Wheels Arado ar-240 for Revell kit

1:72 Arado Ar 240 wheels - 3D-printed accessory (77propeller)

This is not a kit but a 3D-printed resin set of landing gear wheels in 1:72 scale for models of the German Arado Ar 240. The wheels have a faithful tire tread pattern and hub profile and replace the more softly shaped plastic parts. The hint of weighting gives the model a natural stance on the ground. The target kit is the Revell one.

The real subject

The Arado Ar 240 was a German twin-engine multi-role aircraft of the Second World War, tested in the heavy fighter and the reconnaissance role. It was built only in small numbers and prototypes, which makes it all the more interesting for collectors of unusual subjects.

Use and tips

• A replacement for the plastic wheels with more detailed resin ones.
• Wash them, separate them from the print supports and clean up the contact patch.
• Bond with cyanoacrylate glue; tires matte, hubs as the scheme shows.

Who the accessory is for

• For builders of Ar 240 models in 1:72 scale.
• For modelers who focus on landing gear detail.
• For more experienced builders used to 3D-printed parts.

The accessory is supplied unpainted and without the base model, unless stated otherwise.
