Description
The DU-BRO Vintage Wheels let RC builders add true scale realism to WWI aircraft, Golden Age airplanes, and any vintage-style model that deserves an authentic, classic look. Designed directly from the wheel shapes used on early full-scale aircraft, these wheels offer the perfect combination of old-school appearance, lightweight construction, and DU-BRO’s trusted durability.
Each wheel is made from solid, lightweight foam, giving your model reliable performance without unnecessary weight. The foam exterior is rugged and long-lasting, making these wheels suitable for grass fields, smooth runways, and display models alike. The hubs are molded from paintable ABS plastic, allowing you to finish them with period-correct colors or weathering to match your aircraft’s design.
