Spitfire wheels with patterned tires and a spoked hub, 4 pieces, 1:48 are four printed resin Spitfire wheels with a patterned tire in 1:48 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
A set of four printed resin wheels for a Spitfire model in 1:48 scale from the Turkish brand Ginger Cat, in the version with a patterned tire and a spoked hub. The manufacturer designs its accessories in house and makes them by high-resolution resin printing. The box gives the count of four pieces. This is an accessory to a kit, not a model of the aircraft.
The Spitfire received several types of main wheel over its production and modelers often change them, because the wheel is the part of a standing model at the viewer's eye level. Two things differed: the pattern of the tire, which was either coarsely patterned or smooth, and the shape of the hub, from spoked to covered. A patterned tire with a spoked hub is among the most common combinations. The choice therefore has to start from a period photograph of the particular machine.
First wash the printed resin parts in warm soapy water so that the print residue disappears from the surface and the paint will hold. Cut off the supports with a saw or a cutting disc, never with nippers, which will break the resin. The manufacturer recommends applying a base before painting. Glue the parts with cyanoacrylate glue or epoxy, as cement for plastic will not hold here. A dark wash into the recesses and a drybrush on the edges will draw out the detail. Wear a respirator while sanding.
This is an accessory to a model, not a kit. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
