Wheel Aftermarket Upgrades for Scale Models
Wheels are a highly visible element on grounded aircraft, helicopters, and military vehicles. Their tread pattern, sidewall detail, and hub design significantly affect the realism of a finished model. Aftermarket wheel upgrades replace simplified or inaccurate kit wheels with scale-accurate and finely detailed components.
This category includes wheels for fixed-wing aircraft, helicopter landing gear, and selected military vehicles. Aftermarket wheels are especially valuable for correcting flat, undersized, or poorly detailed kit parts.
