F/A-18 Hornet (A, B, C, D & CF-18) Wheel Bays for Kinetic kit (3D printed) Scale 1:48 ResKit RSU48-0388 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RSU48-0388 is a 3D printed wheel bays set for the F/A-18 Hornet (A, B, C, D & CF-18) in 1/48, designed to enhance the internal landing gear bay structure visible on Kinetic kits.

Aftermarket 3D printed accessory for aircraft scale model kits, intended for miniature replica builds that require refined structural detail in landing gear compartments.

Highly detailed components for accurate 1/48 scale aircraft models, focusing on internal ribbing, equipment boxes, and structural surfaces typically simplified in standard kit parts.

The F/A-18 family features complex landing gear bay geometry with visible internal frames and cabling areas. This set helps represent those structural forms more clearly when the aircraft is displayed on its landing gear.

For modelers: test-fit the wheel bay assemblies before committing to glue, especially inside the fuselage halves. Remove any print supports carefully and check alignment with the landing gear struts before painting and final installation.

FAQ

Which Hornet variants are supported by this set?

The set is intended for F/A-18 A, B, C, D and CF-18 variants used in Kinetic 1/48 Hornet kits. Check your kit boxing to confirm the correct airframe version.

Do the wheel bays replace the kit parts?

Yes, the set is designed as a replacement-style upgrade for the landing gear bays in the Kinetic kit. Test-fitting during fuselage assembly helps ensure correct positioning.

How should resin wheel bay parts be prepared?

Clean parts in mild soapy water, remove any remaining support points, and test-fit before primer. Thin primer layers help preserve the small structural details.
