Armory Models AW72042 Tupolev Tu-134 Crusty wheels 1/72 – Resin Wheels Set

The Armory Models AW72042 set is a high-quality collection of resin wheels designed for the Tupolev Tu-134 passenger aircraft model in 1/72 scale. This product is dedicated to modelers seeking the possibility of detailed recreation of the landing gear for this classic Soviet design. Each wheel is crafted from precisely cast resin parts, offering a much greater level of detail compared to standard plastic kit parts.

The Tupolev Tu-134, also known by its NATO reporting name “Crusty,” is one of the most recognizable Soviet-made jet passenger aircraft, introduced into service in the mid-1960s. It was used mainly by Aeroflot and carriers from Eastern Bloc countries, serving both civilian and military roles (transport, training). The Tu-134 operated intensively during the Cold War and the subsequent years, and was widely used until the early 21st century in countries such as the USSR, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, East Germany, and Romania.
