Spitfire (3 spoke) Wheels set Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0298 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0298 is a 1/48 Spitfire (3 spoke) wheels set, produced in 3D printed resin to retain the characteristic three-spoke hub pattern and a defined tire shoulder. On a Spitfire build, the wheel face is clearly visible from low angles, so accurate spoke depth and a sharp rim edge noticeably refine the landing gear area.

The choice of wheel type is important for variant accuracy, and the 3-spoke pattern is typical for specific production batches. Replacing kit wheels can help avoid softened spoke detail that may disappear after primer and paint.

For modelers: confirm that your chosen Spitfire version used 3-spoke wheels before assembly. Apply a thin primer coat, paint the hubs first, then mask carefully for the tires; use restrained washes so the spoke openings remain crisp at 1/48.

FAQ

Will these wheels fit any 1/48 Spitfire kit?

The set is listed as Any / Universal for 1/48 Spitfire builds, but axle size and gear leg design can vary by kit. Test-fit before final assembly.

How do I confirm that 3-spoke wheels are correct for my version?

Check reference photos or your kit instructions for the specific production batch or variant. Wheel type can differ between Spitfire marks.

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

Wash the parts thoroughly, allow them to dry, then apply a light primer coat. This keeps spoke recesses sharp and improves paint adhesion.
