Eduard 648178 Spitfire Mk. V wheels 1/48 (AIRFIX)

Eduard 648178 Spitfire Mk. V wheels 1/48 (AIRFIX) is a high-quality resin wheel set dedicated to the Spitfire Mk. V model in 1/48 scale, designed for Airfix kits. The product is made by the renowned Czech manufacturer Eduard, which has for years provided modelers with advanced accessories that enhance the level of detail in plastic models.

The Spitfire Mk. V is one of the most important versions of the Supermarine Spitfire fighter, which was the backbone of the British Royal Air Force during World War II. This aircraft was intensively used both by the RAF and allied forces including Canada, Australia, and Poland. It saw combat in the most significant aerial campaigns, such as the Battle of Britain and the battles over Malta and in North Africa, being a key element of Allied air superiority from 1941 until the end of the war.

The offered wheel set is made from the highest quality resin. Thanks to modern casting technology, the modeler receives perfectly reproduced tread details and precise replication of spokes and hubs, which far surpasses what is achievable with standard plastic parts taken directly from the sprue. The set includes a complete set of wheels and painting masks, making it easier to accurately separate the tire and wheel rim colors, significantly reducing work time and enhancing the finish of the completed model.
