Hawker Tempest/Typhoon Wheels set type 1 (weighted) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0336 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0336 is a Wheels Set for the Hawker Tempest/Typhoon in 1/48, type 1 with a weighted stance. The weighted contact patch helps the model sit more naturally on the ground and keeps the wheel/tire look consistent across the landing gear area.

This upgrade is most noticeable on parked builds where wheel faces are visible under the wing and gear doors. Because axle diameter and how the wheel seats on the strut can vary between kit toolings, final fit should be treated as kit-dependent.

For modelers: dry-fit first and plan the final stance before glue. Align the weighted flats so both main wheels touch the surface evenly; adjust the mounting hole gradually (if needed) to keep the hubs centered and the sit level.

FAQ

How do I align weighted wheels correctly?

Dry-fit and set the model on a flat surface, then rotate each wheel so the weighted flat touches evenly. Glue only after you confirm both sides sit level.

Will this set fit any 1/48 Tempest or Typhoon kit?

It is intended for 1/48 Tempest/Typhoon projects, but axle and strut details can differ by kit. Dry-fit first and adjust the mounting hole only if needed (kit-dependent).

Should I paint the wheels before installation?

Usually yes. Painting hubs and tires separately helps keep edges clean; install after paint is fully cured to avoid handling marks.
