Jak-7/9, La-5/7, Lagg-3, I-185, MiG-3 Wheels set for dry airfields Scale 1:72 ResKit RS72-0031 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS72-0031 Wheels Set provides 3D printed wheels for 1/72 builds that use the dry airfields wheel style on several WWII-era Soviet aircraft types. The set is intended to sharpen hub definition and keep tread/sidewall detail visible after primer and paint, which is especially important in 1/72 where kit wheels can look smooth once finished.

Aftermarket resin accessory designed for aircraft scale model kits.

Highly detailed resin parts intended for accurate 1/72 scale aircraft models.

This option is useful when you want the landing gear area to look more purposeful and consistent across a small-scale build, without changing the kit struts or wheel bays.

For modelers: test-fit the wheels to your kit axles early and check stance on a flat surface before committing to glue. Prime lightly and apply tire color in thin coats so the tread and sidewall edges stay crisp; a subtle wash around the hub can bring out the relief without over-darkening the tire.

FAQ

What does "for dry airfields" change on the finished model?

It refers to a wheel style used for certain operating conditions. On a finished build, it mainly affects the look of the tire and tread pattern compared to more generic kit wheels.

Will these wheels fit any 1/72 kit of the listed aircraft?

The set is listed as Any / Universal, but axle diameter and wheel/hub proportions can vary by kit. A quick dry-fit will show whether minor adjustment is needed.

How should I prepare 3D printed wheels before painting?

Wash the parts, let them dry fully, and apply a thin primer coat. Keep primer and paint layers light to avoid filling tread and hub detail in 1/72.
