Thank you, Lone Star Models, for providing a very timely improvement to an excellent recent kit release. Thank you IPMS/USA Reviewer Corps for once again allowing me to evaluate a cool new product!

This product replaces the Revell PV-1 main mount tires and wheels. The product is cast in tan resin, with no mold parting seam lines to be removed. This eliminated the need to rescribe the tread patterns, a common task when gluing together injection molded- wheel halves. The pour plug is in a great place, with minimal sanding required. The pour plug flat spot is eliminated by placing it on the ground contact point! The diamond tire tread detail is much more visible and realistic looking than the kit parts, as is the wheel and hub detailing. The axle holes needed to be deepened a bit to sit correctly on the mounts, but that was a very quick and minor fix.

This is a great enhancement of a great base kit! Thank you again, Lone Star Models, for providing a very timely improvement to an excellent recent kit release. Thank you IPMS/USA Reviewer Corps for once again allowing me to evaluate a cool new product! I hope this helps.
