Northrop F-5 (N,E,F)/KF-5F Tiger II Wheels set Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0005 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0005 is a 1/48 wheels set for the Northrop F-5 (N,E,F)/KF-5F Tiger II family, supplied as 3D printed resin parts to sharpen hub detail and give cleaner tire sidewall definition.

On F-5 builds the landing gear sits low and the wheels remain easy to see from most angles, so accurate hub face detail and a consistent tire profile help the finished model look more convincing without changing the character of the kit (kit-dependent).

For modelers: test-fit the wheel halves to the kit struts before painting, then keep the axle holes clean of primer; when sanding support points, rotate the tire as you work to avoid creating flat spots unless your project intentionally calls for a weighted stance.

FAQ

Will this wheels set fit any 1/48 F-5 kit?

It is intended as a universal 1/48 accessory for F-5 family builds, but axle diameter, brake detail and strut geometry can vary by kit. Test-fit before paint and adjust the mounting if needed (kit-dependent).

How can I keep hub detail crisp during painting?

Use a thin primer layer and avoid flooding the hub face. If you mask, de-tack tape first to reduce the risk of lifting paint from resin.

Do I need to treat 3D printed resin differently from standard resin?

Wash the parts, remove supports carefully, and use a suitable primer. This helps paint grip and makes remaining cleanup marks easier to spot.
