Resin undercarriage wheels – realistic detail and weighted tyres

The set contains cast resin undercarriage wheels that replace the plastic parts. The resin wheels reproduce the fine texture of the tread and tyre lettering and — as is typical of this line — have a slightly flattened lower tyre section imitating deflection under the aircraft's weight (the "weighted" effect).

A self-adhesive mask is included to make painting the tyre-to-hub boundary evenly easier. The wheels are fitted with cyanoacrylate adhesive. It is one of the most striking and simplest ways to raise the realism of the undercarriage.

About the aircraft – MiG-21R:

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 is one of the most widely produced and operated supersonic combat aircraft in history. A light fighter with a delta wing and distinctive conical air intake, it served in dozens of countries around the world for over half a century.

The MiG-21R version was a specialised reconnaissance variant, adapted to carry underslung pods with photographic equipment, electronic intelligence gear or other observation systems. It retained fighter capabilities, being able to carry weapons for self-defence, and was used for tactical reconnaissance, including at low altitude.
