M-8/20
wheels in 1/72 scale
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.

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.
