Reskit 1:48 - wheel bays for the F/A-18 Hornet (versions A, B, C, D and the Canadian CF-18), intended for the Kinetic kit. It is not an aircraft model but a 3D-printed detail set that replaces the flat, empty plastic bays.
Responsibility details are not available.
Please note that this is NOT an aircraft kit but a detail accessory. The set from Reskit replaces the wheel bays on a model of the F/A-18 Hornet in 1:48 scale and is intended for the Kinetic kit. The manufacturer declares it for versions A, B, C, D and the Canadian CF-18 - so one set covers most of the classic Hornets, which suits anyone with several boxes in the stash. The parts are produced by 3D printing in resin.
A wheel bay is not a smooth box - in reality it is a deep cavity packed with piping, hydraulics, wiring, bracing and rivets. An injection mold, however, has to come apart, so the plastic bay from a kit tends to be shallow, flat and half empty. Resin 3D printing has no such limitation and manages real depth and a tangle of detail. And the bay is certainly not hidden: the model stands on its landing gear, so the viewer looks into it from the side and from below - especially on the Hornet, with all three legs and large doors. It is then well worth picking the new bay out with a wash and drybrushing.
The bays are set into the fuselage before the fuselage halves are closed - bear that in mind when planning the build and dry-fit as you go. Saw the parts off their print supports; never break them off. Do the sanding and fitting wet: resin dust is harmful to health and must not be inhaled. Before painting, wash the parts in warm soapy water, so that print resin residue does not make the paint peel. Glue with super glue or epoxy - cement for polystyrene will not join resin. The recommended painting procedure: primer, base shade, a darker wash in the corners, gentle picking out of the edges.
A detail set in 3D-printed resin, not a model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
