About product

Armory 1:32 JAS-39 Gripen - wheels with weighted tires, the early version

A resin set of wheels from the Ukrainian brand Armory in 1:32 scale for the Swedish JAS 39 Gripen. The tires are cast as weighted: they have a contact patch and a slightly bulged sidewall, as if the weight of the machine were standing on them. The set represents the early form of the wheels. It is not an aircraft kit or a part of one - it is a replacement part with which the wheels from the original kit are exchanged.

The real subject

The Saab JAS 39 Gripen is a Swedish single-engine multirole combat aircraft. The abbreviation in the designation sums up the three roles it was built for from the start: jakt, attack and spaning, that is, fighter, ground attack and reconnaissance in one machine. Behind that lay a hard Swedish requirement: the aircraft was to take off and land on closed public roads and be serviceable by a small team with a minimum of equipment. It is exactly this quality that loads the Gripen's landing gear heavily - and it is also the reason why the shape of the tire stands out so clearly in period photographs of a machine at rest.

Use and painting

  • Cut the casting blocks off with a saw and level the contact patch on a sanding sponge.
  • Rinse the parts in lukewarm water with a drop of dish soap before gluing, so that the mold release agent disappears.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); when sanding resin, protect your breathing and wet the sanded spot.
  • Dry-fit the seating in the landing gear bay and adjust the pins if needed.
  • Point the wheel so that the whole contact patch lies on the base; otherwise the whole weighted-wheel effect is lost.

Who the set is for

For more experienced modelers who have already worked with resin and want to set a standing model on a base convincingly. The aircraft, the glue and the paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The tire is cast with a contact patch and a slightly bulged sidewall, as if the weight of the aircraft were standing on the wheel. Kit wheels tend to be perfectly round, so the model looks as if it were floating.

The box names no particular kit. These are 1:32 wheels for the JAS-39 Gripen in the early form; dry-fit the seating in the landing gear bay for that reason.

Cyanoacrylate glue, that is, super glue. Cement for plastic will not help here. Rinse the parts in lukewarm water with a drop of dish soap before gluing.

Paint the hub and the tire separately before you seat the wheel. A tire is not black - a dark gray shade with dust on the sidewall and a rubbed contact patch looks more faithful.
