The RESKIT RS72-0197 set is a precisely manufactured set of resin wheels (weighted) intended for the OV-10 "Bronco" aircraft model in 1/72 scale.

The set is dedicated to plastic kits, enabling a realistic representation of the landing gear details of the iconic American attack aircraft.

The OV-10 Bronco was a versatile close air support (COIN) aircraft, widely used by the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. It was renowned for its excellent maneuverability, ability to operate from short runways, and adaptability to a wide range of roles: from reconnaissance to attack missions. The Bronco’s wheels, visible in both archive photos from Vietnam and more recent conflicts, were characterized by great durability and a distinctive profile.

The RESKIT RS72-0197 upgrade set includes a complete set of main wheels and a nose landing gear wheel with a recreated weighted effect—matching the realistic look of the aircraft weighed down on the tarmac. Such details give the model a professional and realistic appearance not available in standard plastic kits.

Category: resin upgrade set for plastic model kits. I recommend this product to both advanced modelers and intermediate hobbyists who wish to enhance the realism of their dioramas or standalone models. Resin enables much sharper detail than standard plastic. I rate the assembly difficulty at 2/5 (easy installation, ideal for basic filling and painting).

If you’re looking for an element that will add realism to your 1/72 scale OV-10 Bronco, the RESKIT RS72-0197 is a choice that will truly make your model stand out from the crowd!
