RESKIT RS48-0199 F4D-1 Skyray Type 2 wheels set 1/48 – Resin Upgrade Set for Aircraft Models

RESKIT RS48-0199 F4D-1 Skyray Type 2 wheels set 1/48 is a professional upgrade set intended for F4D-1 Skyray fighter models in 1:48 scale. The manufacturer – the renowned RES/KIT brand – has prepared a top-quality supplement for the popular Tamiya model, enabling a faithful reproduction of the original landing gear details of this iconic US Navy aircraft from the Cold War era.

The F4D-1 Skyray fighter, known for its distinctive “delta” wing design, was a pioneering, supersonic carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy. It was designed in the 1950s and served with the US armed forces from 1956 to 1964. The F4D-1 Skyray was primarily used for interceptions during the Cold War, and was stationed on American aircraft carriers, especially in the Pacific and North Atlantic.

The presented product is a fully resin upgrade set, including two sets of Type 2 wheels with precise tread and rim detail replication. The material – premium quality resin – guarantees crisp details and excellent fit of the components. The set includes carefully cast main and nose wheels, designed for easy installation onto plastic models, especially recommended for the Tamiya set but suitable for other F4D-1 models in this scale as well.

This product significantly increases the realism of the model, reflecting the typical service tires used on the F4D-1.

This set is the ideal choice for modellers aiming for authentic detail replication and for Cold War-era layouts and dioramas.

We recommend it both to intermediate aircraft modellers and enthusiasts of US naval aviation history. With RESKIT RS48-0199, your F4D-1 Skyray model will gain exceptional realism and detailing.
