Armory Models AW48324 F-4 Phantom-II wheels w/ weighted tires, mid 1/48

The Armory Models AW48324 upgrade resin set is a high-quality set of wheels for the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II multirole fighter, designed especially for 1/48 scale models. This is an excellent addition to any F-4 model from the so-called "mid-production" series—the set has been developed based on original documentation and photographs, ensuring a realistic appearance and perfectly accurate detail proportions.

The featured wheels accurately represent the characteristic "weighted tire" effect, showing how the tires deform under the aircraft's weight. This effect is highly sought-after by experienced modelers, as it greatly enhances the realism of the finished model. Thanks to advanced resin casting technology, the tread and wheel rim details are exceptionally crisp and sharp—far superior to what is possible with standard plastic kits.
