Quality

Professionally cast replacement wheels for the Italeri kit. The accuracy of these wheels is excellent when compared to  contemporary photographs.

One minor drawback is the fact that the wheels are cast very closely to the sprue, without any ’spacers’. This means it is imperative to use a razor saw to remove the parts, resulting in some detail getting lost in the process that has to be restored.
These manipulations also leave the wheels slightly flat on the (former) attachment side which looks very realistic on the assembled model but take care.

Instruction sheet      No (none needed)
Decals   No (none needed)
General impression This is a very welcome detail set as the Italeri wheels are not only too small but also have a sort of “balloon“ appearance.
