1:72 F-22A Raptor wheels set

F-22A Raptor – a Reskit wheels set 1:72

A detailed resin set of replacement wheels from the manufacturer Reskit in 1:72 scale for a model of the American fifth generation fighter aircraft F-22A Raptor. It is not a model of the aircraft but an accessory that will replace the simplified wheels from the base kit with finely executed resin parts with faithful tread and hubs.

What the set is for

The F-22A Raptor is a single-seat twin-engine stealth fighter for air superiority. Resin wheels offer crisper detail than plastic and tend to be made with a slightly flattened contact face, which gives a standing model the impression of real weight and faithfully imitates the load on the landing gear.

Building tips

• Cut the casting blocks away and wash the remains of the mold release agent off the parts.
• Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate).
• Paint the tires in shades of rubber, highlight the hubs and match the contact face to the surface.
• Protect your airways when sanding resin.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the F-22A Raptor in 1:72 scale.
• Detailers who prefer fine resin wheels to plastic.

This is a resin accessory, not a complete model. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
