This is a professional upgrade set, made from precisely cast resin, ensuring modelers a significant increase in the realism of their miniatures.

• Material: high-grade resin, resistant to deformation and allowing for the reproduction of the finest details.
• Type of product: detail-up accessory set – aircraft wheels (weighted), i.e., with a slightly flattened tread section, realistically reflecting the effect of tire contact with the ground.
• Category: resin detail-up set for enhancing plastic model kits.
• Country of use (original): United Kingdom.
• Historical period: World War II (1942–1945). Wheels designed for the Hawker Tempest and Hawker Typhoon models—fighters renowned for their combat in Europe and support missions on the Western Front.

The original Hawker Tempest and Typhoon aircraft were crucial for the RAF between 1942 and 1945, used in numerous battles—including the defense of Britain and attacks on German V1 launch sites. The finely detailed RESKIT wheels perfectly replicate the unique pattern of the Type 2 tire and rim, providing an opportunity for precision refinement of the landing gear appearance. The “weighted” tires look especially impressive in ‘on ground’ dioramas, greatly enhancing the realism of the model’s display on a shelf or diorama base.

The set includes all necessary elements to replace the plastic wheels, does not require complex processing—only precise painting and assembly. Designed both for intermediate and advanced modelers seeking to improve the realism of their Hawker Tempest or Typhoon miniatures. Assembly difficulty: 2/5.

We recommend the RESKIT RS72-0351 set to all modelers aiming for perfect detail reproduction of British World War II fighters. Professional manufacturing quality, precise details, and ease of use make this product an essential addition to any aircraft model of this class.
