Here is a very nice resin wheel replacement set for the Me-262. There is no specific kit for which it is designed so it should work on any one that you have in 1/48. This set has the diamond tread main wheels with the ribbed nose wheel. If you want a smooth one you can easily sand it that way.

Also included are a set of wheel masks. In fact, the instructions are basically on how to use these things. I've not tried masks for wheels, but if/when I use these, I'll give them a try.

I should mention that the wheels are barely bulged and not as overdone as some other wheel sets that I've seen. The diamond tread is also not overstated and is more like what you'd see on a plane that has had them installed for a while.

A nice set that should really look nice on your next 262 kit.
