Description
ResKit RS48-0220 is a Type 1 wheels set for the Lockheed P-38 Lightning in 1/48. The “Type 1” note is important because wheel and hub styles can vary across P-38 production and configurations, and this set is intended to help you match the wheel look to your specific Lightning build.
This option is useful when kit wheels look soft around the hub face or when you want cleaner tire contours that remain crisp after primer, paint, and wash work (fit is kit-dependent).
For modelers: confirm your reference photos or kit instructions for the wheel type before committing, then dry-fit the wheels on the kit axles and adjust the mounting holes gradually for a centered fit; keep hub paint layers thin so washes can define recesses without filling the detail.

FAQ
What does “Type 1” mean for P-38 wheels?
It indicates a specific wheel style used on some P-38 configurations. Check your kit instructions or reference photos to confirm your subject matches this wheel type.
Will these fit any 1/48 P-38 kit?
Fit is kit-dependent because axle diameters and gear leg geometry vary by manufacturer. Dry-fit first and adjust the mounting holes gradually.
Any tip to keep hub detail visible after painting?
Use thin paint layers on hubs and apply a controlled wash to highlight recesses; heavy paint can soften fine hub features.
