F-111 (E,F)/EF-111A Wheels set (weighted) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0070 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0070 Wheels Set (Weighted) is made for General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark family builds in 1/48, covering F-111E/F and EF-111A applications (kit-dependent). The weighted tire profile helps the model sit with a more natural on-the-ground stance, which is especially noticeable on an aircraft with a tall, prominent landing gear.

Because the F-111’s main gear and doors draw attention under the fuselage, upgrading the wheels can improve the overall balance of the underside without changing your cockpit, bays, or stores choices.

For modelers: decide the final wheel “flat spot” orientation before glue. Dry-fit the wheels and mark the lowest point so all tires sit evenly on a flat surface. When painting, keep buildup light around the tire-to-hub edge; a clean demarcation line makes the weighted effect look deliberate rather than softened by thick paint.

FAQ

What does “weighted” mean on this wheels set?

It represents a subtle tire flattening where the aircraft rests on the ground. Align all wheels consistently so the flat area sits level.

Will it fit any 1/48 F-111 kit?

The set is listed as Any / Universal, but fit is kit-dependent. Test-fit the axle interface and adjust the mounting hole gradually if needed.

How do I keep the stance even across all wheels?

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