Dornier Do-335A Pfeil Wheels set (weighted) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0331 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0331 Wheels Set (Weighted) is intended for Dornier Do 335A Pfeil builds in 1/48. The weighted tire profile helps the finished model sit with a more natural on-the-ground stance, which is especially noticeable on the Do 335’s tricycle gear and prominent main wheels.

This set is a focused undercarriage upgrade: cleaner hub definition and consistent tire shape help the landing gear look more deliberate during final painting and weathering, without changing bays or struts.

For modelers: decide the final “flat spot” orientation before glue so both main wheels sit evenly and the nose wheel aligns straight. Dry-fit on a flat surface, mark the bottom position, and only then commit with glue. Keep paint layers thin at the rim edge so the weighted contour stays crisp after finishing.

FAQ

What does “weighted” mean on this wheels set?

It represents a subtle flattening where the tire meets the ground. Align the flat area consistently so the aircraft sits level.

Is this set tied to a specific kit brand?

No. It is listed as Any / Universal, but fit is kit-dependent. Test-fit the axle interface and adjust the mounting hole gradually if needed.

How can I keep the stance even on a tricycle gear aircraft?

Dry-fit on a flat surface, mark the bottom position of each tire, and glue only after confirming all contact points sit level.
