1/32 MiG-21 MF Weighted Wheels
Hobby 2000 1/32 MiG-21 MF Weighted Wheels 3D-print is a set of 3D-printed weighted wheels designed for MiG-21 MF 1:32 scale kits. It replaces the standard plastic wheels with more realistic variants with detailed surfaces and flattened tyres to simulate the weight of the aircraft. Suitable for increasing the visual authenticity of the model.
The MiG-21 MF was one of the most widely used jet fighters of the Cold War and served in dozens of air forces around the world. The MF (Модернизированный Форсированный - modernized with a forcing engine) version was an upgraded variant with a more powerful radar, better avionics and increased combat load. In service, the MiG-21 MF proved to be a fast, agile and unpretentious machine suitable for mass deployment even in conditions of limited facilities.
The Hobby 2000 kit includes spare wheels made using 3D printing technology, replacing the standard injection moulded wheels from the standard 1:32 scale MiG-21 MF kits. The main benefit is the realistic loading effect - the tyres are flattened in shape at the point of contact with the pad, which corresponds to the actual behaviour of rubber tyres under the weight of the aircraft. The surface of the wheels is textured in detail with a marked tread pattern and fine irregularities typical of real Soviet-made tyres. The material allows for precise capture of these features that are difficult to achieve with conventional plastic parts.
Installation is straightforward - the wheels are fitted in the same way as the original kit parts. Suitable for modellers who want to increase the visual authenticity of their model without the need for complex modifications. The kit does not contain paint or glue.
