The offered weighted “type b” wheels are intricately reproduced based on authentic technical documentation and archival photographs of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress aircraft. The B-17 is a famous American heavy bomber from World War II, widely used by the United States Army Air Forces in air campaigns over Europe and the Pacific from 1941 to 1945. These replacements faithfully capture the characteristic “flattened” tire profile under the aircraft's weight, which significantly enhances the realism of the completed model.

The Armory Models AW72352 set is dedicated to any 1:72 scale B-17F/G model, regardless of the original plastic kit manufacturer (Airfix, Revell, Academy, Hasegawa, etc.). It is perfect both for new builds and as an upgrade element during the renovation of older models. The wheels are characterized by an extremely high level of detail: precisely reproduced tire treads, visible wheel bolt details, and realistic tire deformation.

The set consists of resin parts that are easy to assemble and paint. It does not contain any metal or photo-etched parts. Recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers seeking authentic landing gear effects for their B-17 miniatures. Assembly difficulty rating: 2 out of 5.

This product is recommended to every aviation modelling enthusiast focused on enhancing World War II models, as well as those who want to raise their modelling work to a higher level of realism with expertly crafted resin details.
