Armory Models AW72356 B-29 Superfortress early production wheels w/ weighted tyres type “c” (GS) & PE hubcaps 1/72

The Armory Models AW72356 B-29 Superfortress early production wheels w/ weighted tyres type “c” (GS) & PE hubcaps 1/72 set is a high-quality upgrade dedicated to modelers who want to enhance the realism and detail of their Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber model in 1/72 scale. Created by the renowned Armory Models company, the set is designed with careful attention to replicating the characteristic landing gear details of the aircraft used by the United States Air Force.

The B-29 Superfortress is a historic bomber from World War II and the early Cold War years. It was widely used by the USA, primarily during strategic bombing raids on Japan, including the delivery of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Production of the aircraft began in the 1940s, and early production versions—like those reproduced in this set—were distinguished by a specific main landing gear design.

Set contents:

• Precisely cast resin wheels with realistically rendered type "c" weighted tyres effect – ideal for diorama displays, creating an authentic impression of the aircraft's weight on the airfield.
• Photo-etched (PE) hubcaps, perfectly reproducing fine details and increasing model realism.
• The set includes a complete wheel and accessory kit, enabling you to fully replace the default plastic parts from the base kit.

All parts are made of high-quality resin, guaranteeing crisp detail, durability, and ease of processing. The photo-etched metal details allow for precise enhancement of features not achievable in standard plastic model kits.
