Lockheed C-130 Hercules Wheels set late type (weighted) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0276 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0276 is a Wheels Set for the Lockheed C-130 Hercules in 1/48, late type with a weighted stance. The weighted tire contact patch helps the model sit more naturally on its gear, which is especially noticeable on a large transport with prominent wheels and a low viewing angle.

This set is a straightforward upgrade when you want cleaner hub definition and a more convincing “on the ground” look without changing the rest of the build. Because axle diameter and how the wheel seats against the strut can vary between kit toolings, final fit remains kit-dependent.

For modelers: decide the aircraft’s final stance before glue. Dry-fit and align the weighted flats so all 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 first, then rotate each wheel so the weighted flat touches evenly. Glue only after you confirm all contact points match.

Will this set fit any 1/48 C-130 kit?

It is intended for 1/48 C-130 builds, 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.
