Mil Mi-8/Mi-17 Helicopters Wheels set Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0038 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0038 is a 1/48 Wheels Set for Mil Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters. The set is intended to refine hub detail and tire profile, which is noticeable on these helicopters due to their tall landing gear and exposed wheel layout.

This upgrade is useful when kit wheels appear simplified or when you want a more defined transition between rim and tire sidewall. As axle diameter and gear leg design can vary between manufacturers, installation should be considered kit-dependent even with an Any / Universal recommendation.

For modelers: wash parts before priming and dry-fit them to the gear legs to confirm depth and alignment. If adjustment is required, sand only the hidden mounting surface and re-check stance on a flat surface before glue fully cures.

FAQ

Will these wheels fit any 1/48 Mi-8 or Mi-17 kit?

The set is Any / Universal, but axle size and gear leg geometry vary between kits. Dry-fit first and adjust only the hidden contact surface if necessary.

Do resin/3D printed wheels need special preparation?

Wash parts before priming and remove any small support marks carefully. Primer helps reveal minor imperfections before painting tires and hubs.

How can I ensure the helicopter sits level?

Install both main wheels at the same time and check the model on a flat surface before glue cures. Small corrections at the mounting face usually resolve alignment issues.
