Copper State Models releases first images of new 3D spoked wheels
« on: September 28, 2022, 10:37:55 PM »
Forum members are the first to see the latest aircraft accessory items in development by Copper State Models -  3D spoked wheels for the 1/32 scale Caudron kit.

These exclusive images have been released for Forum members first and Edgar says the wheels are currently in the testing phase.






No release date or price has been announced yet but the wheels will sell in sets of four with axles.

These 3D spoked wheels follow the release of Copper State's spoked wheels for their 1/32 Nieuport kits.

The Nieuport wheels sell for 12 Euros a set from the Copper State website.





A set of 2 wire wheels for Nieuport-type aircraft covers such versions as the Nie11, Nie17, Nie23, Nie24. The wheels are 3D printed with 0,16mm spokes and are on sale now.

Lovely, I will need 4 for my Caudron.

Thanks, Dave, for passing this excellent news.

Hi all,
Alexy Belov at 'Proper Plane' is working on spoked wheels, but with metal spokes, not 3D printed.
If these are eventually released, they should be stronger than injection or 3D printed wheels.
Especially for heavier resin aircraft models,

Mike

These look superb, bravo Edgar! A friend recently bought a couple of CSM Caudrons and I expect he'll be very interested to see these...
