Eduard starting producing resin recently and started producing some superb wheels for different kits. This set is for Me-262's and can be used on Tamiya, DML or Monogram kits.

In the package, you get 9 beautiful resin pieces- there add shows different resin for the wheel and hubs but they are all perfectly cast dark gray resin. All you need to do is remove the pour stubs and you are ready to go. The hubs are cast separately and I love this. Typical German wheels were black hubs and dark gray rubber wheels. This makes painting that scheme simple. Also, the tread pattern is beautiful as shown in the close-up shots.

Lets' compare some of the kit wheels out there. I have included a couple comparison shots of the Trimaster/Dragon/DML vs. Tamiya vs. Eduard. Eduard is the clear winner in all cases with better tread representation, better construction and the ease of painting. The DML wheels are vinyl and many people have a dislike for them so here is an easy replacement that is also an upgrade.

The summary is simple- the Eduard wheels are better than anything out there now- better designed, better quality and more accurate. highly recommended for your next Schwalbe project!

My thanks to Eduard and IPMS/USA for he opportunity to review these gems!
