Short historical note: Five-spoke wheels were characteristic of Spitfire aircraft mainly used by the Royal Air Force of Great Britain. The Spitfire played a key role during World War II, especially in the Battle of Britain (1940), becoming one of the most recognizable fighters of that era. The featured wheels model is from the years 1939–1945.

The RESKIT RS48-0104 set guarantees the highest fidelity to the original, thanks to the reproduction of the finest details. Resin allows for subtle textures, such as fine tire tread and intricate rim details – unattainable with standard plastic wheels.
