General Dynamics F-16 (A,B,C,D) Fighting Falcon early (weighted) Wheels set Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0023 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0023 is an early-style Weighted Wheels Set for General Dynamics F-16 (A,B,C,D) Fighting Falcon builds in 1/48. The weighted tire profile adds a natural on-the-ground look, while keeping hub detail crisp for clean paint separation.

On the F-16, the landing gear and wheels sit in very open view, so tire shape and hub definition can stand out as much as panel line work. This set helps refine that area without changing the kit’s overall landing gear layout.

For modelers: choose the final wheel orientation before glue so the weighted “flat” sits correctly on a level surface. Dry-fit on the kit axles first because axle size can be kit-dependent, then prime lightly and paint hubs and tires separately to keep the hub edge sharp.

FAQ

How do I position weighted wheels correctly?

Dry-fit the wheels, set the model on a flat surface, and rotate each wheel so the flattened area sits evenly on the “ground” before final glue.

Will this fit any 1/48 F-16 kit?

It is listed as Any / Universal, but axle diameter and brake detail layout can vary between kit brands. Test-fit on the kit axle and adjust the mounting hole if needed.

Should I paint tires and hubs separately?

Yes. Painting separately (or masking the hub after paint) helps keep the hub edge sharp and avoids filling fine detail with heavy coats.
