Sikorsky Sea King (all versions) Wheels set Scale 1:72 ResKit RS72-0042 for Helicopters Model Kit

ResKit RS72-0042 is a 1/72 wheels set for the Sikorsky Sea King (all versions). Produced as resin 3D printed parts, the set is aimed at sharper hub relief and a cleaner tire sidewall profile, helping the landing gear look more defined on a helicopter with very visible sponson-area details.

Aftermarket resin accessory designed for aircraft scale model kits.

Highly detailed resin parts intended for accurate 1/72 scale aircraft models.

On 1/72 Sea King builds, wheels sit in an open, easy-to-see area, so improved hub definition and consistent tire shape can make the gear look tidier after primer, paint, and a controlled wash.

For modelers: dry-fit the wheels to your kit struts before paint and check spacing inside the gear area. If the axle fit is tight, open the mounting hole gradually with a fine drill so the wheels sit square and keep the stance even (kit-dependent).

FAQ

Will these wheels fit any 1/72 Sea King kit?

The set is listed as Any / Universal for compatible 1/72 Sea King builds, but axle and strut geometry vary by kit. Dry-fit first and adjust the mounting hole if needed (kit-dependent).

How do I keep the wheels aligned on a helicopter stance?

Test-fit all wheels and place the model on a flat surface to check contact points. Make small adjustments at the axle stage so the helicopter sits evenly.

What is the safest paint approach for small 1/72 wheel detail?

Prime lightly and keep paint coats thin. A controlled wash around the hub brings out relief without flooding the fine details.
