Weighted 3D printed wheels for the Trumpeter 1/32 F/A‑18 Hornet kit, designed to replace the kit’s rubber tires and give your model a realistic, properly “sitting” stance on the ramp.
Full product description
Paste this into your main description field and adjust if your set covers specific variants (A/B/C/D only) or also E/F/G.
This Black Ops 3D set provides correctly sized, weighted 3D printed wheels for the Trumpeter 1/32 F/A‑18 Hornet. They are designed to replace the kit‑supplied wheels and rubber tires, which are known to look toy‑like and can cause long‑term issues with cracking or deforming.
The subtle “weighted” or flattened effect at the bottom of the tires helps your Hornet sit like a real aircraft under load, especially when displayed with tanks and ordnance. Crisp hub and tire detail means your landing gear looks as good as the rest of your build.

Installation and use
Clean the 3D printed wheels of any support remnants and test‑fit them onto the Trumpeter landing gear struts before gluing. If needed, lightly drill the axle holes to match the gear pins. Use CA glue or epoxy to secure the wheels, aligning the weighted flat spot so all tires sit level on your display base. Prime and paint with your usual tire black and hub colors.
