1:72 Jak-7/9, La-5/7, Lagg-3, I-185, Mig-3 (for dry airfields) wheels set

Wheel set for the Soviet Yak-7/9, La-5/7, LaGG-3, I-185 and MiG-3 fighters - Reskit, 1:72 scale (dry airfield version)

A 3D-printed resin set of landing gear wheels from Reskit in 1:72 scale. It is not an aircraft model or a kit - it is a detail accessory with which you replace the original plastic wheels on one of the Soviet fighters of the Second World War (Yak-7/9, La-5/7, LaGG-3, I-185, MiG-3). This variant carries a tire tread suited to hard, dry airfield surfaces. Sets of this kind come with a realistic flattened contact patch where the wheel meets the ground and with separate hubs, so the result looks more convincing than a one-piece plastic wheel. The accessory is intended for more experienced modelers.

Fitting and painting tips

First wash the parts to remove print resin residue, carefully separate them from the print supports and bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Wear respiratory protection when sanding resin. Paint the tire and the hub separately - masking is worth the effort for a clean transition.

Who the set is for

• For modelers of Soviet fighters of the Second World War in 1:72 scale.
• For those who want realistic wheels with a weighted stance on the ground.
• For builders of aircraft standing on dry, hard-surfaced airfields.
• For more experienced modelers used to working with resin.

The accessory is supplied as a set of resin parts, unassembled and unpainted. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
