Messerschmitt Bf.109 (F, G-early) Wheels set type 1 (weighted) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0349 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0349 is a 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf.109 (F, G-early) wheels set, type 1 (weighted), produced in 3D printed resin to keep the hub pattern sharp while adding a subtle flattened contact patch. The weighted profile helps the model sit more naturally, especially on a Bf.109 where the narrow-track gear makes stance and wheel angle very noticeable.

Weighted wheels can also make the landing gear area look less “toy-like” by suggesting load without exaggeration. This set is a practical choice when you want a consistent pair of wheels with clean rim edges and readable hub relief after paint.

For modelers: align the flat spot with the ground before gluing and check that both wheels share the same toe-in angle. Apply a thin primer coat, paint hubs first, then mask for the tires; avoid heavy washes that could pool in the flattened area and look overdone.

FAQ

Will these wheels fit any 1/48 Bf.109 kit?

The set is listed as Any / Universal for 1/48 Bf.109 (F, G-early) builds, but axle diameter and gear leg geometry can be kit-dependent. Test-fit before final assembly.

How do I orient the weighted flat spot correctly?

Dry-fit the wheels and set the model on a flat surface before glue. Adjust until both flats touch the ground evenly and the stance looks symmetric.

How should I prepare 3D printed resin wheels before painting?

Wash the parts, let them dry fully, then apply a light primer coat. This preserves hub recesses and helps paint adhere evenly.
