Ultracast
has given us some great aftermarket items, including wheels and seats.
Their latest releases are for the P-38 Lightning. Three styles of main
wheels were used on the P-38 and Ultracast gives you the option of doing any one
of them. These wheels are molded in blemish free light cream resin with
absolutely exquisite molded on detail.

Each set comes with three wheels,
one nose wheel and two main wheels. These wheels are beautifully cast with
the proper bulge, not the flat tires of some other sets. These look very
realistic as if the tire is under a weight. The diamond tread style is
expertly captured. The depth of the spokes is quite impressive with
beautiful detail even inside the spokes.
Removal from the casting block is
simple and easy. If you’ve never worked with resin before these
wheels are a good way to start.
Picture below shows the spoke
detail.
These wheels will add a realistic
sit to your model, a simple and effective upgrade for your model. If
you’ve never used resin aftermarket these are a simple way to learn. If
you want a realistic sit and feel to your model these wheels are really the best
on the market. Another great product from Ultracast.
Highly recommended
