About product

Reskit 1:48 - weighted wheels for the F-111

A set of wheels made by 3D printing for models of the American F-111 combat aircraft in 1:48 scale. It replaces the wheels from the kit and, above all, adds the sag of the tire where it meets the ground. The F-111 is a heavy machine and its tires are visibly loaded in photographs, so a perfectly round wheel on a model gives away at once that the machine is merely balancing on the surface. The set is not an aircraft model.

The real subject

The F-111 was an American combat aircraft with variable-geometry wings, designed for low-level penetration in all weathers. It was produced in several versions for the air force and for the navy, with the naval B version never entering service in the end. The machine was exceptionally heavy for its time and had a robust landing gear with large wheels, so that it could carry the weight and operate from ordinary surfaces.

Building and painting tips

The printed parts are held on thin supports. Snip them off close to the part and level the surface with a file or a scalpel. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue. Apply primer before painting. Do not treat the tire with black; a dark gray with a hint of brown keeps the tread detail. Seat the wheels so that the flattened area rests on the surface, otherwise the whole effect disappears.

Who the set is for

  • For builders of F-111 aircraft in 1:48 scale.
  • For modelers who want loaded wheels with sag.
  • For display models standing on a base.

This is an accessory, not a complete model. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

FAQ

The tire is flattened where it meets the ground, as on a real loaded aircraft. The model visually settles down and stops looking as if it were only touching the surface.

With the flattened area facing down so that it rests on the base. A wheel turned the other way cancels the effect and looks like a manufacturing defect.

A dark gray with a hint of brown. Pure black swallows the tread and the shadow, and the wheel looks like a flat blot.
