Eduard 1/48 Brassin Me262 Wheels
By Jacob Russell
This new set of Brassin wheels (item number 648 106) is for any 1/48th scale Messerschmitt Me 262 kit. It consists of 9 resin pieces, the 3 tires, plus inner and outer faces for each wheel.
The tires are treaded. 262 tires were either smooth or treaded, so if you're building a particular plane check your reference pictures to make sure these are the correct tires you'll need.
The quality of Eduard's resin casting is above reproach. The rear wheel inner faces have molded on brake lines and they will look quite nice with an oil wash and some dry brushing to bring out their detail.
Dragon, Hobby Boss, Revell/Monogram and Tamiya produce 262 kits of just about all 262 variants and these tires are a substantial upgrade for any of these kits. I recommend this Brassin set and I would like to thank Eduard for providing the review sample.
