Armory Models AW48311 CH-47 Chinook wheels w/ weighted tires 1/48

Armory Models AW48311 CH-47 Chinook wheels w/ weighted tires 1/48 is a high-quality set of wheels made from precisely cast resin, created for modelers wishing to replicate their 1:48 scale CH-47 Chinook helicopter model with maximum realism. The product is intended for enhancing plastic helicopter models, providing a higher level of detail and authenticity compared to standard plastic parts from basic kits.

Product Description

The AW48311 set includes a complete set of wheels with tires recreated in a "weighted" state, realistically imitating the effect of the helicopter's weight on the ground. The wheels feature subtle tread details characteristic of the CH-47 Chinook helicopter, as well as accurately modeled rims and technical features such as mounting bolts and valves. The resin used enables the rendering of even the smallest details, which are difficult to achieve with standard plastic wheels.
