Jak-7/9, La-5/7, Lagg-3, I-185, MiG-3 Wheels set for dry airfields Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0031 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0031 is a dry airfields wheels set in 1/48 intended for several WWII-era Soviet aircraft families. The distinctive feature is the tire pattern and profile suited to hard, dry-field appearance, helping you vary the look of a build compared to more generic smooth tires.

This set is useful when you want to match the wheel style to a specific build theme or reference photos, and when your kit wheels lack clear tread or hub definition (fit is kit-dependent).

For modelers: dry-fit the wheels to your kit axles early and adjust the mounting holes gradually for a centered fit; when painting, use a slightly lighter dust tone on the tire sidewalls and let a thin wash settle into the tread to keep the pattern readable without over-weathering.

FAQ

What does “for dry airfields” mean in practice?

It describes the wheel style and tire pattern intended to represent a hard, dry-field look. Use references for your specific aircraft and timeframe to match the wheel appearance.

Will this set fit any 1/48 kit of the listed aircraft?

Fit is kit-dependent because axle diameters and gear leg geometry vary by manufacturer. Dry-fit first and adjust the mounting holes gradually.

Any painting tip to keep the tread visible?

Use thin paint layers and a controlled wash to bring out the tread. Heavy paint can soften the pattern and reduce contrast.
