3D-Printed Weighted Pilote X 17R400 Wheel Set for Type HY by Heller, EBBRO in 1/24 scale

To enhance the realism of your Type HY model in 1/24 scale, we have created a high-detail 3D-printed Pilote X 17R400 wheel set designed as a direct visual upgrade for Heller, EBBRO kits.
This set accurately reproduces the characteristic wheels used on the Type HY, known for their distinctive tread pattern and utilitarian design.

Developed using extensive reference material, the wheels capture the correct proportions, surface textures, and structural details, making them suitable for both civilian and service vehicle builds.

High Detail & Realistic Appearance
During development, special attention was paid to:

• accurate tire profile and tread pattern of the Pilote X 17R400
• correct wheel and rim geometry
• subtle sidewall textures and surface details
• clean mounting areas for easy installation

High-resolution photopolymer 3D printing delivers crisp edges, sharp tread definition, and fine detail that exceeds standard injection-molded kit parts.
The wheels are easy to paint, respond well to weathering techniques, and integrate naturally into diorama scenes.

This wheel set is an ideal upgrade for modelers aiming to add authenticity and visual depth to their Type HY builds.
