Eduard 1/48 Brassin Spitfire Mk.I Wheels
By Jacob Russell
These Brassin wheels are for Airfix's new Spitfire Mk. I kit. It's a simple set and it includes main wheels with separate, 5 spoke outer faces, plus a set of rice paper masks. The slots in the inside faces of the wheels correspond to tabs on the landing gear ends, so they'll be an easy installation. The detail on the resin parts is excellent.
Airfix has entered a golden period of producing accurate, competitively priced kits. Their new Spitfire Mk. I continues Airfix's run of great 1/48th scale models. Even the best injection molded kits have limitations, and in areas like the cockpit and main wheels aftermarket parts offer superior detail.
I recommend this set and I would like to thank Eduard for providing the review sample.
