Lockheed F-104 (A,B,C,D) Starfighter Wheels set Scale 1:72 ResKit RS72-0008 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS72-0008 is a 3D printed Wheels Set for the Lockheed F-104 (A,B,C,D) Starfighter in 1/72. It is designed to refine a highly visible area on a small-scale build, with cleaner hub definition and sharper tire edges that remain crisp after primer and paint.

Aftermarket resin accessory designed for aircraft scale model kits.

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

On the F-104, the landing gear sits close to the viewer and the wheel faces are easy to spot even on an in-flight or lightly weathered finish. Replacing kit wheels can help the stance look more consistent and reduce the need for heavy cleanup on tiny parts.

For modelers: do a quick fit-check against your kit struts and fork width before painting. If needed, lightly sand the inner wheel faces in small passes to keep both wheels the same thickness, then paint hubs and tires separately for cleaner edges.

FAQ

Will these wheels fit every 1/72 F-104 kit?

The set is listed as Any / Universal, but axle diameter and fork spacing can be kit-dependent. Dry-fit first and adjust the contact surfaces if needed.

Are these wheels specific to certain F-104 variants?

The title lists F-104 A, B, C, and D. If your kit represents a different sub-variant or a different wheel style, compare the kit wheel hubs before final installation.

What is a clean way to paint wheels in 1/72?

Paint the hub and tire separately where possible, then touch up the rim edge with a fine brush. Keeping primer layers light helps preserve small hub detail.
