About product

Reskit 1:48 Me-410 wheels set (weighted): resin wheel set

This is not an airplane model but a premium aftermarket accessory: a set of accurate resin wheels from Reskit, intended as a replacement for the plastic wheels in the Messerschmitt Me 410 kit in 1:48 scale. Reskit are among the best in the aftermarket and combine resin casting with 3D design, so the tread pattern and the cleanliness of the casting tend to be better than the plastic parts from the kit.

What weighted wheels means

Weighted wheels means that the tire is realistically flattened at the bottom, as if the aircraft were standing on it under its own weight. The plastic wheels from a kit tend to be perfectly round, so the model looks as though it were hovering; flattened wheels, by contrast, sit the model firmly on the ground and read convincingly. On the heavy twin-engine Me 410 this effect is especially easy to see.

Usage tips

  • Wash the mold release residue off the resin parts before gluing (soapy water).
  • Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a knife; do not snap them off.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue, CA), as cement for plastic does not hold on resin.
  • Do any sanding and cutting with respiratory protection; do not breathe resin dust in.
  • Take care over the rotation of the flattened area (the contact with the ground goes downwards).

Who the set is for

  • Builders of the Me 410 kit in 1:48 scale who want the model to sit realistically on the ground.
  • Modelers with experience of resin parts and CA glue.
  • Anyone who wants a cleaner casting and a better tread than the plastic from the kit offers.

The set contains the resin wheels only, as an accessory; the base Me 410 model, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is a resin accessory, a replacement wheel set that you put into the Me 410 plastic kit. The model itself is bought separately.

Weighted wheels have the tire flattened at the bottom, as if the aircraft were standing on it under its own weight. The model then sits realistically on the ground instead of looking as though it were hovering.

With cyanoacrylate glue (super glue, CA). Cement for plastic does not hold on resin. Wash the mold release agent off the parts first and cut off the casting blocks.
