Eduard Brassin 1/48 Ju 88 wheels early
By Jacob Russell
This set of Brassin wheels is for ICM's new Junkers Ju 88A-4/5 kit. It is quite a comprehensive set for such an apparently minor item as a pair of wheels. It consists of 6 resin pieces (tires plus inner and outer wheel faces), 2 pairs of photo etched inner and outer wheel trim rings, a set of masks and decals for the outer wheel faces.
The resin pieces are very well done; the tires in particular have quite legible "Continental" script on them. The outer wheel faces have convincing brake lines molded into them.
This set is identical to item 648 130, reviewed earlier and intended for Dragon and Revell kits, minus the tail wheel.
The new ICM Junkers Ju 88 kits are nicely detailed, but not without accuracy issues. They are also very well detailed. This set of wheels certainly ups the ante. I recommend this Brassin set and I would like to thank Eduard for the review sample.
