Product description:
Eduard 648701 F/A-18E Wheels MENG 1/48 is a high-quality resin landing gear wheel set, specifically designed for the MENG 1/48 scale F/A-18E Super Hornet multirole fighter model. This set is an excellent upgrade for plastic model kits, offering a significantly higher level of detail and realism compared to standard base kit parts.

• The set includes 6 precisely cast resin parts – main landing gear wheels and nose wheels.
• The set also contains a dedicated painting mask, allowing for quick and precise color separation on wheel rims and tires.
• The product does not include photo-etched parts or decals, letting the modeler focus entirely on realistically recreating surface texture and detail.
• The set is recommended for use with the F/A-18E MENG model in 1/48 scale, but can also be adapted for other modern Super Hornet fighter models (with the appropriate mounting adjustments).

These aircraft have participated in operations over Iraq and Afghanistan, serving as a mainstay of the US Navy’s air power during 21st-century conflicts.

Material: Parts cast from high-quality modeling resin, ensuring exceptional detail sharpness and resistance to damage. The painting mask is made from flexible material to facilitate application.
Our recommendation: The product is recommended for both intermediate and advanced aircraft modelers who value high quality and realistic model finishes. An ideal choice for contemporary aviation enthusiasts seeking to faithfully capture the look of the F/A-18E.
