Contents Description

This set includes five, individual castings: two main wheels with separate rear hubs and two nose gear wheels. The resin is a very dark, glossy grey color, and the detail is quite nice. All the tires have raised lettering on both sides. Each wheel must be removed from a small casting plug and the burr sanded smooth, while the main wheel rear hubs require a saw cutting on the hub rear side.

I plan to use these wheels on a Hasegawa F-14A and when I opened the kit's box to find the kit wheels for a comparison to the resin parts I found the kit had cast metal wheel hubs and no tires. In fact, the Hasegawa kit had two sets of hubs for the main gear: I guess that apparently makes up for the missing tires.

Instructions

There are no instructions and none are required.

Conclusion

This will be a very nice addition to any Academy, Hasegawa, Hobby Boss, Italeri and Revell F-14 kit. Highly recommnded.

My thanks to Reskit and IPMS/USA for the opportunity to review this product.
