Armory Models AW48028 Mikoyan MiG-21 Fishbed wheels w/ weighted tires, mid production 1/48

The Armory Models AW48028 set is dedicated to modelers building replicas of the famous Soviet MiG-21 Fishbed fighter in 1/48 scale, especially the variants produced during the mid-production period. The set includes precisely reproduced resin main wheels and a nose wheel with the distinctive "weighted tires" effect, which allows for an exceptionally realistic depiction of the aircraft settling under its own weight on the ground. Such details are a hallmark of professional aircraft models and enrich the final presentation of the scale model.

• Scale: 1/48 – one of the most popular aircraft modeling scales, allowing for a high level of detail.
• Country of origin (of the original): USSR/Russia as well as numerous MiG-21 operator countries (including Poland, India, Vietnam, Egypt, Germany).
• Material: High-quality resin – ensures outstanding detail sharpness as well as ease of handling and assembly.
• Historical application: The MiG-21, one of the most popular jet fighters of the second half of the 20th century, was used during the Cold War, in numerous local conflicts, and by the air forces of nearly 60 countries from the late 1950s to the present day (some fleets still operate them). These wheels are designed for mid-production batches, which gained recognition during, among others, the Vietnam War and Middle Eastern conflicts.
• Set contents: Set of resin main and nose wheels with distinct tread pattern, reflecting the characteristics of the original tires. The tires feature a weighted effect – a novelty for 1/48 scale MiG-21 models.
• Product category: Upgrade – resin detail accessory set for scale aircraft models.
• Assembly difficulty: 2/5 – recommended for beginner and intermediate modelers. Assembly is easy, does not require specialized tools, and only basic skills in precise cutting and gluing of resin parts.
• Recommendation: We highly recommend the Armory Models AW48028 set to all modelers who seek a higher degree of realism in their MiG-21 models. It is an ideal choice for both diorama enthusiasts and those building stand-alone display models. The quality and subtlety of the detailing make this product a valuable upgrade for any Soviet fighter replica in a modeling collection.

If you want a faithful reproduction and exceptional finish for your 1/48 scale MiG-21 Fishbed model, the resin wheel set from Armory Models will be an excellent choice – both in terms of detailing and ease of assembly.
