Here's a new set of 1/48 resin Macchi C.202/205 Wheels (smooth tires) from UltracastThese wheels have the fine detail and will look quite sharp on your next Macchi C.202/205.  You are to use the resin wheels instead of the kit wheels.  

The contents of kit shown above.  These wheels replace the wheels provided by Hasegawa which are undersized and suffer from ejector pin holes on the side of the tires.

There are 2 wheels in each set.  Clean up is very minimal and the wheels come attached to the casting blocks with very easy to manage connection points and removal is easily done with no loss of detail.  The detail level and casting quality is flawless.  

You can go directly to this link to order these wheels.  http://www.ultracast.ca/products/48/175/default.htm

The wheels and landing gear are a major focal point on models and these will really improve the look of the undercarriage in your next Macchi C.202/205.

I'd like to thank Kevin at Ultracast for sending me these review sample.
