Bf-109K wheels set (weighted) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0360 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0360 is a 1/48 Bf-109K wheels set (weighted), produced in 3D printed resin to keep the hub detail sharp while adding a subtle flattened contact patch. On late-series Bf-109 builds, the narrow-track landing gear makes wheel stance and toe-in very noticeable, so a controlled weighted profile helps the model look more naturally “settled” on the base.

Weighted wheels can also improve the look of the tire sidewall and rim edge without needing heavy weathering. This set is useful when kit wheels look overly round or when hub relief is too soft once primer is applied.

For modelers: dry-fit the wheels and set the model on a flat surface before gluing to align both flat spots evenly. Check that left and right wheels match in angle, then prime lightly to preserve hub recesses; paint hubs first and mask for tires to keep the rim line clean.

FAQ

Will these wheels fit any 1/48 Bf-109K kit?

The set is listed as Any / Universal for 1/48 Bf-109K builds, but axle diameter and gear leg geometry can be kit-dependent. Test-fit before final assembly.

How do I orient the weighted flat spot correctly?

Place the model on a flat surface during dry-fit and rotate each wheel until the flat spots sit evenly. Glue only after both sides look symmetrical.

How should I prepare 3D printed resin wheels before painting?

Wash the parts, allow them to dry fully, then apply a thin primer coat. This preserves hub detail and improves paint adhesion.
