RESKIT RS72-0104 SPITFIRE (5 SPOKE) WHEELS SET 1/72 – Resin Wheel Set for Spitfire

The RESKIT RS72-0104 SPITFIRE (5 SPOKE) WHEELS SET 1/72 is a high-quality modeling accessory designed for a professional upgrade of 1:72 scale Spitfire aircraft models. This offering from the renowned manufacturer RES/KIT, specializing in resin modeling accessories, significantly enhances the realism of the final model’s appearance.

• Scale: 1/72
• Material: High-quality cast resin
• Product type: Resin detail wheel set
• Dedicated for: Supermarine Spitfire aircraft (variants with 5-spoke main wheel hubs)
• Historical period: World War II
• Country of use: United Kingdom and Allies operating Spitfire aircraft

This detailing set faithfully recreates the five-spoke wheel hubs—characteristic of many late-war and post-war versions of the Spitfire fighter aircraft. The Supermarine Spitfire was the main RAF fighter during World War II, used, among other places, in the Battle of Britain, on Western fronts, in North Africa, Sicily, and Burma. Five-spoke hubs appeared in later versions, such as the Mk. IX and Mk. XVI, providing improved load-bearing for increasing weights.

The RESKIT set includes two main wheels (with precisely reproduced tread and realistic details), which can serve as replacements for the plastic parts included in model kits from brands like Airfix, Revell, Tamiya, or Eduard. The resin components offer outstanding detail sharpness, allowing you to create a model much closer to the original.

This is a detailing accessory set, ideal both for advanced modelers and for beginners wishing to enrich their model with authentic detail. It is especially recommended for those who value historical accuracy and high build quality. The assembly difficulty is rated at 2/5 – it requires basic experience working with resin and proper surface preparation.

If you want your 1/72 scale Spitfire model to stand out at any exhibition or in your collection, the RESKIT RS72-0104 resin wheel set is an excellent choice.
