The Su-33 landing gear wheel set in 1:48 scale, 3D version is a resin accessory from Temp Models. The second of the two wheel sets for this type.
Responsibility details are not available.
A resin set of landing gear wheels for a model of the Su-33 carrier fighter in 1:48 scale from the Russian brand Temp Models, carrying the suffix 3D in its name. With that suffix the manufacturer tells the set apart from the other wheel set for the same aircraft, which it also makes. The parts replace the wheels from a plastic kit. It is not an aircraft kit.
The Su-33 launches from a deck over a ski-jump ramp and lands on arrestor wires, so its landing gear takes considerably harder treatment than that of the land-based version. The structure is therefore strengthened and the wheels are of a different design. On a model the wheel is one of the few parts the viewer sees from every side, so replacing it pays off even on an otherwise well-made kit.
Cut the supports off with a new blade and level the mating face on abrasive paper laid on glass. Wash the resin in lukewarm soapy water. Paint the hub and the tire separately and use a circular mask on the transition. Handle the weathering on deck equipment in gray tones, which match salt spray.
The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
