• Product Name: Eduard 648679 Z-126/226 Trener wheels EDUARD 1/48

The Eduard 648679 Z-126/226 Trener wheels landing gear set is a top-quality modeling accessory designed for the Zlín Z-126 and Zlín Z-226 Trener models in 1/48 scale. This set is an excellent way to enhance the base Eduard model by replacing less detailed plastic kit components with precisely reproduced resin parts.

The Zlín Z-126 and Z-226 Trener are legendary Czechoslovak trainer aircraft produced mainly in the 1950s and 1960s. They were widely used by both military aviation and civilian sports clubs in many Eastern Bloc countries. Their reliability and simple construction meant they continued to be encountered for many years during flight training and air shows throughout the Cold War period.

The Eduard 648679 set includes:

• A precisely cast set of main landing gear wheels and tail wheel (a total of 3 resin parts).
• A dedicated mask for precise tire painting, enabling an ideal reproduction of details and distinction between the tire and hub surfaces.

The resin parts faithfully replicate the tread texture and the subtle details of the wheel rim, allowing for an extremely realistic end result. Assembly is simple and intuitive—the accessory is designed as a direct replacement for the kit’s original Eduard plastic wheels, so no complicated processing is required.
