Wheels for the 1/48 Baltimore

Image
 One of the accessories for the 1/48 Baltimore that’s already on sale is a set of wheels with tires featuring a so-called “diamond pattern ” (they’re actually just regular diamonds 😊), set 4522 . The tires are cast, while the rims—available with or without hubcaps—are 3D-printed. We’re also working on wheels with tires featuring longitudinal grooves. These were also used very frequently on Baltimore models.

News from Special Hobby 09/2026

Dear business friends,    At the beginning of the September newsletter, I must apologize for the delay in the 1/48 Baltimore kit. The kit was ready for distribution, but at the last minute we discovered that one of the propellers was mirror-imaged. We had to quickly produce part of the mould with the new propeller, which is why the Baltimore distribution was delayed. This also delayed the preparation of other models, SH72491 Junkers W 34 and VT48003 Sea Venom FAW.21/53. The September newsletter therefore brings the new 1/72 TP-40N Warhawk and three attractive reissues of the 1/48 Maryland Mk.I/II, Heinkel He 178V-2 and AF-2W      Guardian kits as well as re-released 1/72 SH72395 F-84F Thunderstreak. I believe that we will avoid further mistakes. Among the 3D printed and resin cast kits and sets, the fully printed Anatra Anasal kit is certainly worth your attention, we also bring other accessories for the M36 Jackson and the Baltimore. We look forward to your orders. A. Riedel SPECIAL H...
