RESKIT RSU48-0388 F/A-18 "Hornet" (A, B, C, D & CF-18) Wheel Bays for Kinetic kit (3D printed) 1/48

RESKIT RSU48-0388 is an advanced wheel bay set designed for F/A-18 Hornet aircraft in the A, B, C, D variants as well as the Canadian CF-18, in the popular 1/48 scale. The components are dedicated to Kinetic models, fully dimensionally and assembly compatible, allowing you to instantly upgrade the detail level of this multirole fighter replica. The wheel bays are 3D printed, which made it possible to reproduce even the smallest details such as wiring, hydraulic lines, brackets, and structural frames—impossible to achieve by traditional plastic kit manufacturing techniques. The rough metal surfaces, bay structure, and authentic detail are features that make this product stand out on the scale modeling accessory market.

The F/A-18 Hornet is an American multirole aircraft introduced into service in the 1980s (Cold War, modern era), widely used by the US Navy, US Marine Corps, the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF/CF-18), and numerous NATO air forces. It has participated in operations such as the Gulf War and many NATO missions. Variants A-D and the CF-18 differ in equipment details, but the wheel bay layout remains a key visual element in every F/A-18 scale model.
