The Heinkel He 177 "Greif" was a German heavy bomber developed during World War II with the ambition of providing the Luftwaffe with a strategic bombing capability. The design was unusual, particularly in its use of two pairs of DB 601/603/605 engines mated to two single-propeller powerplants, which was intended to reduce drag and increase performance. In practice, however, this solution brought numerous technical problems, notably engine overheating and fires. The A-3 and A-5 versions represented an attempt to stabilize the design and expand operational capabilities, including anti-ship attacks and a carrier role for cruise missiles. The He 177 thus became a symbol of the Luftwaffe's ambitious but problematic development of heavy bomber aviation.
The 1:48 scale CMK kit features replacement resin landing gear wheels designed for Special Hobby's Heinkel He 177A-3/5 kits. The resin wheels provide a finer surface texture, more accurate shape and more realistic proportions compared to standard plastic parts. Details such as tire tread, wheel hubs, and any deformations under the weight of the aircraft are handled with greater fidelity, which you will appreciate for detailed painting and highlighting. Installation is straightforward - the resin parts replace the original plastic landing gear parts following the standard kit assembly sequence. The package does not include paint or adhesives.
