These new resin wheel set from Royale Resin are a direct replacement for the kit wheels. It will be a simple job to remove them from the casting blocks and the connection point will be the weighted bottom of the tires. The tires are finely detailed with realistic looking treads. The wheels have full detail on both sides......this is crisp realistic looking detail that includes brakes on one side and lug nuts etc on the other side. For the nose gear, you'll need to remove the kit axle and dill a hole through the nose gear and insert a brass rod as a replacement axle. This is all covered in exacting detail in the one page instruction sheet. |

If you are building the 1/48 Italeri V-22 Osprey, then you should definitely consider adding these resin wheels. I would like to thank Doug Smith at Royale Resin for providing me with this review sample. E-mail Doug at RoyaleResin@gmail.com to order this set. |
