Armory Models AW48352 SR-71A Blackbird early type wheels w/ weighted tyres 1/48

The upgrade set Armory Models AW48352 SR-71A Blackbird early type wheels w/ weighted tyres is an advanced accessory for the Lockheed SR-71A Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft model, made in accurate 1/48 scale. This product is manufactured by the renowned company Armory Models, which specializes in modeling accessories that enhance the realism of replicas. The presented set is dedicated to modelers who want to elevate the finish level of their models to the highest standard, especially those building aircraft from the Cold War era.

The wheels included in the set represent the early variant of the SR-71A Blackbird tyres—the iconic American spy plane used by the United States Air Force from 1966 to 1998. The SR-71A operated primarily during the Cold War, undertaking strategic reconnaissance missions all over the world. The wheels feature carefully reproduced tread, detailed rims, and a realistic “weighted tyres” effect, simulating the natural deformation and flattening of the tire under the aircraft’s weight.

The AW48352 set is made from high-quality resin, making it possible to reproduce details that are not available in most standard plastic models. Modeling resin provides sharper details than traditional polystyrene, as well as high resistance to deformation over time. The set includes a full set of main and nose landing gear wheels, with distinctly weighted tyres for a more realistic appearance of the SR-71A Blackbird model.
