FG Models Resin Scania Wheel sets Scania is biased in Sweden and started building trucks and buses in 1891. They have now become one of the main Truck manufactures in Europe becoming a firm favourite in fleets and with owner drivers. The latest Scania R series trucks are covered in 1:24 scale by both Revell and Italeri. FG Models have released 3 sets of wheels to enhance the front axle of both the Italeri and Revell kit. All of the sets come cast in a light Grey resin, and the detail on the parts is very good with no flaws in the casting, nor any air bubbles in the surface. Firstly I will look at set FG-7026 'Super Single' and is designed to fit the Italeri super single rubber tyres. Some operators fit their trucks with bigger wider tyres on the steering axle and this conversion will allow you to do the same in 1:24. The wheels are very well detailed, and the set contains 6 parts, 2 wheels, 2 hubs, and a pair of centre caps. There is a very high level of detail on the wheels with the 2 rings of nuts being very well cast. It would be a shame to fit the centre trim caps and hide the detail. The next set, FG-7025, is also Super Single style, but has a different style rim. The set has the same number of parts, and the same high level of detail on the parts. Again it is designed to fit the Italeri rubber tyre. The final set for the Scania is another resin wheel set for the front axle, this time the wheel will take a standard size Italeri rubber tyre. The detail on the kit is very high, and it is the correct style wheel for the Scania, as the plastic in the kit is generic type wheel. Again there are 6 parts in the set with the 2 wheels, hubs, and cosmetic centre caps. The Italeri rubber wheel is a very nice fit on the rim, as can be seen above. Conclusion These are very nice sets form FG models, with very well cast parts with high level of detail. Recommended parts!
