Lockheed F-104 (F,G) Starfighter Wheels set Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0010 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0010 is a 1/48 Wheels Set for the Lockheed F-104 (F,G) Starfighter. The set focuses on crisp hub detail and a more defined tire profile, which is important on the F-104 where the slim landing gear and narrow tires remain highly visible on a finished model.

This upgrade can help when kit wheels appear soft on the hub face or lack clear rim separation. As different manufacturers engineer axle pins and gear legs differently, installation should be treated as kit-dependent even when the subject is universal.

For modelers: wash the parts before priming and dry-fit them to the landing gear stubs to confirm diameter and depth. Sand only the hidden mounting surface if needed, keeping the outer rim and hub detail untouched.

FAQ

Will these wheels fit any 1/48 F-104 kit?

The set is Any / Universal, but axle diameter and mounting depth vary by kit brand. Dry-fit first and adjust only the hidden contact area if needed.

Do resin/3D printed wheels require special preparation?

Wash parts before priming and remove any small support marks carefully. Primer helps reveal imperfections before applying the final tire and hub finish.

How can I keep the aircraft sitting level?

Test-fit both main wheels at the same time and use a flat surface to check stance before glue sets. Small adjustments at the mounting face can correct alignment.
