1/48 F-111E/F Aardvark / EF-111A Raven wheels w/ weighted tires Scale 1:48 Armory Models AR AW48320

Armory Models AR AW48320 is a wheels set for 1/48 scale builds of the F-111E/F Aardvark and EF-111A Raven. The set includes weighted tires, which helps give the finished model a more grounded stance and a more natural contact look on the display surface.

This type of upgrade is useful on F-111 family builds where wheel shape and tire profile remain visible on the completed model. It can help refine the landing gear presentation without changing the overall character of the subject, especially on parked aircraft configurations.

For modelers: test-fit the wheels before final painting and compare axle diameter with your kit parts first, as fit can be kit-dependent across different manufacturers. Clean mating points carefully and check the tire flat spot alignment so both main wheels sit evenly after installation.

FAQ

Are these wheels intended for one kit brand only?

No. The manufacturer lists Academy, HobbyCraft, HobbyBoss, and Italeri, but fit remains kit-dependent, so a dry fit is recommended before final assembly.

What does weighted tires mean here?

It refers to a tire shape with a flattened contact area to give the completed aircraft a more natural parked appearance.

Should the wheels be installed before painting?

It is better to test-fit first, then paint after confirming the axle fit and wheel alignment.
