About product

A-6 Intruder / EA-6 Prowler - wheels set - 1:48, made by Reskit

Replacement wheels for a model of the carrier-based Grumman A-6 Intruder and EA-6 Prowler. It is a resin and 3D-printed set of replacement wheels for more experienced modelers, which takes the place of the plastic kit wheels and brings a more faithful tread pattern and better-defined hubs. It is not an airplane model but an aftermarket landing gear accessory.

The real subject

The Grumman A-6 Intruder is an American carrier-based attack aircraft for all-weather operations, with its crew seated side by side; it served the Navy and the Marine Corps from the 1960s. From its airframe came the EA-6 electronic warfare version, the Prowler, which jams enemy radars and communications. Both types share a strengthened carrier landing gear.

Usage tips

First wash the resin parts in warm soapy water to remove mold release residue or print resin residue. Separate the wheels from the casting blocks or from the print supports with a sharp knife, level the cuts with sandpaper and bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate) - plastic cement does not hold on resin. Both the hub and the tire are easier to paint before final assembly; masking and a matte varnish help.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want to lift the level of landing gear detail beyond what the kit parts allow
  • Builders of a carrier aircraft model who care about a faithful tread pattern and wheel hubs
  • More experienced modelers used to working with resin and super glue
  • Fans of American naval aviation

The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted as a resin accessory. It is not a model of the aircraft; glue and paints are not included in the package. Protect your airways when sanding resin.
