Fouga CM.170 Magister Wheels set (weighted) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0308 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0308 is a 1/48 Wheels Set (weighted) for the Fouga CM.170 Magister. The weighted tire shape helps the model read as a parked light jet, adding a subtle “on the ground” look without needing extra work on the landing gear.

This set is useful when kit wheels look perfectly round or have soft hub detail that becomes hard to define after paint. Because axle stubs and wheel well clearances vary by kit tooling, installation should be treated as kit-dependent even with an Any / Universal recommendation.

For modelers: plan wheel orientation before glue so the flattened section sits naturally on the ground. Dry-fit on the gear legs and check the stance on a flat surface; if adjustment is needed, sand only the hidden mounting face to preserve the weighted profile.

FAQ

How should I orient weighted wheels on the model?

Align the flattened section so it sits squarely on the ground plane. Test-fit the model on a flat surface before glue cures to confirm both sides touch evenly.

Will these wheels fit any 1/48 Fouga Magister kit?

The set is Any / Universal, but axle diameter and mounting depth vary by kit tooling. Dry-fit first and adjust only the hidden contact surface if required.

Do resin/3D printed wheels need special preparation?

Wash parts before priming and remove any small support marks carefully. A light primer coat helps reveal minor imperfections before painting tires and hubs.
