Messerschmitt Bf.109G Wheels set type 2 (weighted) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0357 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0357 is a 1/48 Wheels Set (weighted) for the Messerschmitt Bf.109, intended for Bf.109G type 2 wheels. The weighted tire shape helps the model look naturally parked, and it is especially noticeable on the Bf.109 where the narrow track and outward gear angle draw attention to wheel stance.

This set is useful when kit wheels are perfectly round or when hub and sidewall detail becomes soft after paint. Because different kits represent the axle and gear leg interface differently, installation should be treated as kit-dependent even with an Any / Universal recommendation.

For modelers: plan the orientation before glue so the flattened section sits squarely on the ground. Dry-fit both main wheels together and check the model on a flat surface; if a small correction is needed, sand only the hidden mounting face to preserve the weighted profile and keep both sides even.

FAQ

How should I orient the weighted wheels?

Align the flattened section so it sits squarely on the ground plane. Test-fit the model on a flat surface before glue cures to confirm both wheels touch evenly.

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

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

Do resin/3D printed wheels need special preparation?

Wash parts before priming and remove any small support marks carefully. A light primer coat helps reveal minor imperfections before painting hubs and tires.
