About product

Reskit 1:72 Wheels for the A-10 Thunderbolt II (Weighted) — Resin Accessory

The set includes resin, 3D-printed replacement wheels for a model of the attack aircraft A-10 Thunderbolt II in 1:72 scale. This is not an aircraft model — it is an accessory that replaces the wheels from the plastic kit. The designation weighted means the tires have an accurately modeled flattening of the contact patch from the aircraft's weight, so the model sits realistically on its landing gear instead of looking like it's floating. The manufacturer is Reskit, which specializes in 3D-printed accessories for plastic models.

Why Replace the Wheels

Injection-molded wheels are usually split into two halves, have a seam running around the whole circumference, and a softly modeled tread and hub. 3D-printed resin wheels are typically one piece, with a sharp tread, a legible sidewall, and fine hub relief — and there's no laborious sanding of seams. On the A-10, which sits on massive main landing gear partly recessed into the engine nacelles, wheel detail is clearly visible on the model.

Working with Resin

  • Wash the wheels with warm water and dish soap before painting — this removes residual uncured print resin.
  • Cut off the 3D-printed supports with a saw or scalpel — never snap them off.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate (super glue), not plastic cement.
  • Sand wet and with respiratory protection.
  • The tire's flattened area must point downward, perpendicular to the ground, when gluing — stand the model up and check the orientation before the glue sets.
  • Apply a primer, since resin without a base coat holds paint poorly.

Who the Set Is For

For modelers building the A-10 Thunderbolt II in 1:72 scale who want a realistically seated model and sharp wheel detail without sanding seams. Suitable even for less experienced builders — it's one of the easiest ways to noticeably lift a model.

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints, and the base kit are not included in the package.

FAQ

The tires have a modeled flattening of the contact patch, as created by the aircraft's weight. The model then sits realistically on its landing gear.

No. These are only replacement wheels. The base A-10 kit in 1:72 scale must be purchased separately.

Orient the wheels so the flattened area points straight down toward the ground. They are glued with cyanoacrylate, not plastic cement.
