Armory Models AW72421 A.W. Valiant wheels w/ weighted tires 1/72

The detail-up set Armory Models AW72421 A.W. Valiant wheels w/ weighted tires 1/72 is a proposition for demanding modelers wishing to enhance the realism of their Armstrong Whitworth Valiant bomber model in 1:72 scale. This product is manufactured by the renowned company Armory Models, which has been known for years for its attention to the smallest details and the high quality of its materials. The set offers a complete set of resin main and front wheels, faithfully reproduced based on the original blueprints of the Valiant aircraft – the British strategic bomber from the Cold War era.

The AW72421 set includes specially shaped tires with a weighted effect, making the model look authentic – just like a real machine standing on the airfield surface. Such details are often overlooked in basic plastic model kits, while here the resin ensures the highest precision in replicating tire treads, rim shapes, and subtle operational wear details.

The Armstrong Whitworth Valiant was operated by the United Kingdom during the Cold War period from 1955 to 1965. The aircraft belonged to the RAF’s so-called “V bombers” and played a key role in the nuclear deterrence strategy. The Valiant notably participated in Operation “Grapple”, carrying out the first British hydrogen bomb tests.

The resin set Armory Models AW72421 stands out for its sharp detailing and ease of processing – the components are lightweight, resistant to damage, and fit most 1:72 scale plastic Valiant models. Assembly is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers (difficulty level 2/5), as it requires basic resin handling and painting skills.

We recommend this product to anyone looking to achieve a more accurate representation of British Cold War aircraft and wanting to enhance their collection with vivid, realistic details. An excellent choice for aircraft modelers seeking a “wow” effect on their display.
