1/72 SR-71A Blackbird early type wheels w/ weighted tyres Scale 1:72 Armory Models AR AW72359

Armory Models AR AW72359 is a wheels set for the SR-71A Blackbird early type in 1/72 scale. This set features weighted tyres and is focused on the early wheel style, helping the landing gear area look more defined on a large aircraft with a clearly visible undercarriage.

Aftermarket accessory for scale model kits, developed for aircraft wheel detailing in 1/72 scale.

Designed for scale model builds, this set supports clearer tyre shape and hub detail, with the early wheel configuration useful when matching a specific aircraft version.

The SR-71A uses a distinctive landing gear layout that remains highly noticeable on the finished model, so wheel style and tyre profile can influence the overall balance of the build. This set is listed as universal, with Academy, Hasegawa, Italeri, MHM, MIN, MOD, Monogram, Revell, and TES noted among compatible kit options.

For modelers: compare the kit wheels with the early-type layout before assembly and test-fit each part on the kit axles before painting. Careful cleanup of the mounting points will help keep the weighted effect even and maintain a consistent sit across the landing gear.

FAQ

Why is early type specified for this set?

It identifies the wheel style noted by the manufacturer. Compare your kit parts with the version you plan to build before final assembly.

Is this set only for Academy or Hasegawa kits?

No. Those brands are listed among compatible kits, but the set is also marked as universal. Final fit remains kit-dependent.

When should the wheels be test-fitted?

It is useful to test-fit them before painting so axle diameter, wheel position, and overall alignment can be checked first.
