Douglas B-66 Destroyer Wheels set Scale 1:72 ResKit RS72-0169 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS72-0169 is a Wheels Set for 1/72 builds of the Douglas B-66 Destroyer. The resin / 3D printed parts feature refined hub structure and defined tire shoulders, supporting a more convincing look for this twin-engine aircraft in parked configuration.

Aftermarket resin accessory designed for aircraft scale model kits.

Highly detailed resin parts intended for accurate 1/72 scale aircraft models.

The B-66 has a relatively tall landing gear stance, making the wheel assemblies clearly visible from side and front angles. Improved hub depth and cleaner rim edges help the undercarriage look sharper without modifying the kit struts. Fit remains kit-dependent due to possible axle and mounting variations.

For modelers: dry fit each wheel before paint to check axle alignment and seating depth. Lightly ream the mounting hole if needed and keep primer coats thin to preserve surface detail. Check the model from the front to ensure a level stance before final bonding.

FAQ

Will these wheels fit any 1/72 B-66 kit?

The set is listed as Any / Universal, but axle diameter and wheel mounting depth can differ between kit manufacturers. Dry fitting before final assembly is recommended.

How can I keep the model level on its landing gear?

Install the main wheels temporarily and check alignment from the front and rear. Adjust insertion depth so both sides sit evenly before applying glue.

What preparation is needed for resin / 3D printed parts?

Wash the parts to remove residue, allow them to dry fully, and apply a thin primer coat before painting.
