seawinder Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I'm looking for aftermarket main wheels in 1/48 for an F-15C MSIP in this configuration:http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn297/hans_antonissen/f15ma016a_zpshtpzooxe.jpgl Does anybody know of a source/brand? Thanks, Pip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Matt Foley Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Nothing special about them. Check Squadron or Sprue Bros. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBP1538 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Have you checked out northstarmodels.com? Their no-mask series of wheels look pretty nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBP1538 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 They make them for the c/d too--I have a set. Try this link http://northstarmodels.com/product/148-mcdonnel-douglas-f-15-eagle-abcd-wheels-set-no-mask/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CF104 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I'll second the Northstar Models wheel recommendation. They are great! Cheers, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, John Yes, they look nice. Unfortunately, the F-15A/B/C/D wheels seem to out of stock everywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBP1538 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 You could also try these https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/RS48-0022 I've never used them, but they look ok... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I saw those on eBay; thanks for the reference. I've ordered a set of True Details wheels, which are similar but cheaper. If they turn out to be too "flattened" for my taste, as is often the case, I plan to order a set of the ResKit wheels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBP1538 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Sounds like a plan. Good luck with your Eagle Jet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 If the hubs work for you, you may be able to just sand away the side bulges on the TD tires and get them to a more suitable look. Although, you may still have the "too large" flat spot... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
