Armory Models AW72310 C-130 Hercules wheels, mid type 1/72 is a high-quality resin detail upgrade set designed for C-130 Hercules transport aircraft models in the popular 1:72 scale. The product is made from precisely cast polyurethane resin, featuring outstanding detail and durability that surpass what is possible with standard plastic kits. The set includes a complete set of wheels with the distinctive pattern used on mid-service life machines – so-called "mid type" – which accurately replicate the original tires and rims with a level of precision not found in traditional kit parts.

The C-130 Hercules is one of the world's most famous military transport aircraft, produced by the American company Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin) since the 1950s. It has served (and still serves) air forces in many countries, such as the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, and Israel, making it one of the most widely used medium transport aircraft in history. Operated worldwide from the late 1950s to the present day, it has proven itself in both the Cold War period and modern conflicts, serving on all continents. The Hercules has taken part in numerous combat operations, rescue missions, humanitarian efforts, and logistical tasks.

The AW72310 set is dedicated to modelers who are looking for an authentic recreation of the landing gear details of C-130 Hercules models—especially those depicting aircraft from the 1970s to 2000s. The precisely rendered tread and rim details provide a level of realism unattainable with standard plastic parts. An additional advantage of resin wheels is the lack of distortions and imperfections that can sometimes appear in base kits.
