Scale wheels and tires for ESM P-51 Mustang

Printable scale wheels for the 1800 mm ESM P-51B and P-51D models. They are 1/6.26-scale, like the ESM model. They can be resized for other planes, off course. The bolt sizes have to be changed accordingly.

Use four M3x20 mm bolts to assemble each main wheel. Use CA glue to assemble the tail wheel.

Print four tire halves from your favourite TPE and glue together with Plasti dip liquid tape (or other glues that will stick to your favourite TPE) and use a soldering iron to weld together the edge.

Wedge02 - Wedges for using the 90° heavy duty retracts from Hobbyking.
Door02 - Wheel doors.
Door03 - Cover for retracts.
Door04 - Mount point for door link on Robostrut 672 legs.
Tailgear02 - Scale tail gear leg for Hobbyking metal tail retract.

The large inner wheel doors need to be heat formed after printing so that they fit the curvature of the wing. This takes practice. 3D printing them with the right curve intact is not viable as it would require a lot of difficult to remove support material. Here's a video showing the gear doors:
