About product

Sagged wheels for the Cougar 4x4 in 1:35 scale

This resin set from the Italian brand Royal Model replaces the wheels of the Cougar armored vehicle in its four-wheeled form. The tires are cast with a flattened footprint and a slightly bulged sidewall, so that the finished model stops looking as if it were hovering a millimeter above the base. The difference shows most on a flat asphalt surface, where the eye immediately compares the outline of a tire with its shadow.

The armored vehicle the wheels belong to

The Cougar came about at the American firm Force Protection as an answer to improvised explosive devices in Iraq. The V-shaped hull deflects the blast wave to the sides, the crew sits high above the floor and the whole vehicle is built for surviving a hit rather than for agility. The shorter four-wheeled version served American units and the British army too, which adopted it under a name of its own.

Before you fit the resin to the axles

Always stand the vehicle dry on a board first and turn all the wheels so that the flattened part lies exactly at the bottom. A mark on the inner side of the rim will make the position easier for you. Bring out the tread with a dry brush in a sandy shade and add pigment into the grooves according to the setting you place the scene in.

Suitable for

  • builders of present-day vehicles deployed in the Middle East
  • models standing on a flat road or on an airfield apron
  • dioramas with a patrol in built-up terrain
  • modelers who want to emphasize the weight of a vehicle

The set comes in raw resin without paintwork; obtain the chemicals separately.

FAQ

It imitates the deformation of a tire under the weight of the vehicle. A hard, perfectly round wheel from a mold looks weightless, whereas a settled tire gives a model a legible weight.

Yes, with this type of set that is essential. The flattened area belongs at the bottom against the base, otherwise the tire looks damaged and the effect turns against you.

Avoid pure black. A dark gray base coat with a light touch of dust at the end corresponds to a real tire far better, and the tread shows up better too.
