Clear Prop Models, a resin set of type 1 wheels for the Westland Wessex HC.2 in 1:72 scale is a 3D-printed accessory for the Airfix kit. It is not a model: it contains replacement wheels with the tread rendered and with flattening under the weight of the machine.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item is a detail accessory in resin, made by 3D printing, and not a helicopter kit. It replaces the landing gear wheels on the plastic model of the Westland Wessex HC.2 in 1:72 scale from Airfix. The designation type 1 matters: Wessexes flew with several versions of wheels and the manufacturer offers more than one type of set for this helicopter. Before buying, therefore, check from photographs of the particular machine which version your chosen finish and serial number actually used.
The chief virtue of resin wheels is the rendered tire tread and the fine transition between the tire and the hub, which an injection mold can manage only to a limited degree. The wheels are also cast with flattening where they meet the ground, so the tire on the model looks loaded, as though the machine really stood on it. It is a detail the eye notices before most other improvements, because the wheels on a finished model are always in view.
For builders of the Wessex HC.2 in 1:72 scale who want to give a model a realistic settled look and a more accurate landing gear. The work is simple and quick and suits modelers who are only starting with resin; all it takes is cyanoacrylate glue and a little care in positioning the wheels.
An accessory to a kit, not a model in its own right. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package. Work resin parts with respiratory protection and keep them out of the reach of children.
