RESKIT RS48-0213 RA-5 Vigilante wheels set 1/48 – Wheel set for RA-5 Vigilante aircraft model

RESKIT RS48-0213 is a high-quality wheel set for the North American RA-5 Vigilante reconnaissance aircraft model in 1/48 scale, made from precision resin. This product is primarily intended as an upgrade for plastic model kits from Trumpeter, but thanks to the matching scale, it’s also perfectly suited for other RA-5 kits released by various manufacturers. RESKIT is a renowned Ukrainian manufacturer known for faithfully replicating vehicle details and aircraft parts in resin.

RA-5 Vigilante was a two-seat, supersonic reconnaissance aircraft of American design, used by the United States Navy (US Navy) during the Cold War, from 1964 to 1979. Previously, it was also used as a nuclear bomber in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The most famous operations involving the RA-5 took place during the Vietnam War, where these aircraft played a key role in reconnaissance missions for carrier strike groups. The uniqueness of the Vigilante, especially the landing gear and main wheel design, attracts many aviation modelers interested in Cold War aviation and US Navy operations history.
