Cierva C.30 semi scale 95mm wheel & Tire (Astik Models Cierva Kit)

thingiverse

I designed this wheel to give the Cierva C.30 from Astik Models a more scale-like appearance. A photo of an actual Cierva C.30 found online served as my reference point. To achieve this look, I used a combination of 3D printing techniques and clever design elements. The tire itself measures 95mm in diameter and is printed in two halves, making it easier to assemble and glue together. A small ring-shaped piece is also printed separately and fits snugly inside the tire's groove, simplifying the gluing process for model builders. Similarly, the rim of the wheel prints in two halves that can be glued into place once the tire is complete.
