Eduard 648468 Spitfire Mk. XIV wheels - 4spoke 1/48 AIRFIX – complete resin wheel set

The Eduard 648468 Spitfire Mk. XIV wheels - 4spoke 1/48 AIRFIX set is a specialist, high-quality model accessory designed for all enthusiasts of historical aviation and scale modeling. This product is intended for the Spitfire Mk. XIV model in the very popular 1/48 scale, dedicated directly to the Airfix kit.

The Spitfire Mk. XIV was one of the most advanced versions of the iconic British fighter aircraft of World War II. Equipped with the Rolls-Royce Griffon engine, these planes demonstrated significantly improved performance, which proved invaluable during the offensive over Western Europe in 1944 and operations over occupied France. The short but intense service of the Mk. XIV took place in the final months of the war, when the RAF used them, among other roles, to combat advanced Luftwaffe fighters as well as intercept V-1 flying bombs.

The wheels provided by Eduard (four-spoke main and tail wheel) are reproduced with exceptional detail, faithfully reflecting the characteristic spoke arrangement of the Mk. XIV version, which significantly enhances the technical and visual value of the finished model. The high-quality resin provides a level of detail far superior to the plastic parts included in the original kit, allowing the modeler to achieve a highly realistic result with proper finishing. The set includes a sheet of painting masks, which is especially appreciated by those who pay attention to the precise finishing of tires and rims. No photo-etched parts or decals are included.
