Spitfire (5 spoke) Wheels set Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0104 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0104 is a Spitfire 5 spoke wheels set in 1/48. The five-spoke hub pattern is a focal point on many Spitfire builds, and this set is intended to give cleaner spoke definition and a sharper rim edge than simplified kit wheels.

This option is useful when you want the hub geometry to remain crisp after primer, paint, and wash, especially on models displayed on a mirror base or with open gear doors (fit is kit-dependent).

For modelers: dry-fit the wheels on the kit axles before paint and adjust the mounting holes gradually for a centered fit; when painting the hub, use thin coats and let a controlled wash define the spokes rather than building up paint that can soften the openings.

FAQ

Is this set intended for all Spitfire variants?

It is described as Spitfire 5 spoke wheels. Spitfire variants can use different wheel types, so confirm your specific version and references before installation (kit-dependent).

How do I keep the spoke openings sharp after painting?

Use light primer and thin paint coats on the hub, then apply a controlled wash to bring out the spoke pattern without filling the recesses.

Will these fit any 1/48 Spitfire kit?

Fit is kit-dependent because axle diameters and gear leg geometry vary by manufacturer. Dry-fit first and adjust the mounting hole gradually.
