About product

Northrop F-5 A/B wheel set, 1:48, made by Reskit

Replacement wheels for a model of the Northrop F-5 light fighter in the A and B versions. It is a resin and 3D-printed set of replacement wheels for more experienced modelers that takes the place of the plastic kit wheels and brings a more faithful tread pattern and better rendering of the hubs. It is not an airplane model but an aftermarket landing gear accessory.

The real subject

The Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter is an American light supersonic fighter of the 1960s, inexpensive and simple to maintain, which spread to dozens of countries. The single-seat F-5A served as a fighter and attack machine, the two-seat F-5B as a trainer. The slender airframe stands on a relatively delicate landing gear.

Usage tips

First wash the mold release residue off the resin parts with warm soapy water. Separate the wheels from the casting blocks with a sharp knife, even the cuts out with sandpaper and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue): plastic cement does not hold on resin. It is easier to paint the hub and the tire before final assembly; masking and a matte clear coat help.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want to raise the level of landing gear detail beyond what the kit parts allow
  • Builders of a fighter model who care about a faithful tread pattern and wheel hubs
  • More experienced modelers used to working with resin and cyanoacrylate glue
  • Fans of Cold War export light fighters

The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted as a resin accessory. It is not an aircraft model; glue and paints are not included in the package. Protect your airways when sanding resin.
