1:32 Spitfire Mk.Ia wheels

Eduard 1:32 Spitfire Mk.Ia Wheels (Resin Accessory)

Eduard 1:32 Spitfire Mk.Ia Wheels are a detail resin replacement wheel set for building a model of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Ia in 1:32 scale. This is not an aircraft model or a complete kit — it is a replacement detail part that replaces the wheels from the original plastic kit and raises the finished model's realism. The set usually brings an accurately rendered tire tread, fine hub relief, and realistic flattening of the tire's underside, imitating a wheel loaded by the aircraft's weight. A mask is usually included, making it easy to cleanly separate the hub color from the tire.

Fitting and use

• After removing the parts, rinse them in lukewarm water with dish soap to remove residual mold-release agent
• Carefully separate the wheel from the casting block with a sharp knife or saw, and sand the cut surfaces
• Glue with cyanoacrylate (super glue), which holds resin more reliably than ordinary plastic cement
• Orient the flattened part downward so it sits on the base and imitates a loaded wheel
• Use the included mask to separate the hub and tire colors for a clean transition

Who It Is For

For modelers building the Spitfire Mk.Ia in 1:32 scale who want more realistic wheels than the base kit offers. Working with resin and cyanoacrylate suits more experienced modelers better.

Wear respiratory protection and work in a ventilated room when sanding resin. Handle cyanoacrylate with care. Keep out of the reach of children.
