P-51D Wheels, Control Surfaces & Propeller

1:48 Eduard Brassin - For Airfix Kit

 

 

Eduard offer us three new resin sets to upgrade the Wheels, Control Surfaces and Propeller of the new Airfix kit.

 

Wheels (648335)

This set gives new main wheels and the tail wheel. The main wheels have the diamond tread pattern, and come with separate hubs. The tail wheel is one part and comes with a new leg which is made from a different type of resin which is probably less prone to sagging. As well as the wheels a set of yellow tape masks are also supplied (not pictured).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Control Surfaces (648345)

These are a new Rudder, tailplanes, and ailerons for the Airfix kit. They are direct drop in replacements with some slight modification only needed to the fuselage where the rudder fits in.

 

 

 

 

Hamilton Standard Propeller (648347)

This is a new Hamilton Standard replacement prop unit. The blades are individual and seat into the top of the hub via a provided jig. When this is removed from the pour block the modeller will have to drill a locating hole in it. The unit is then fitted to the base and the spinner added. A small PE part is then fitted to the front of the spinner, as it is a small part 3 are provided as its a given the carpet monster will claim at least one!
