MiG-15 Wheels - Brassin Resin Accessories for Eduard Kit

1:72 Eduard

It’s not every day that we’re given an aftermarket item to review before the intended recipient kit is released, but I think we can make an exception in Eduard’s case. If you haven’t heard already, the moulds for Eduard’s much-anticipated MiG-15 were damaged early in the production run, and the kit has been delayed whilst replacement moulds are manufactured. Nevertheless, Eduard have chosen to press on with the release of a number of resin items designed for the kit, starting with these resin main landing gear wheels. Two different types of wheel are included, meaning you will have enough for two kits.

Whilst I can’t comment on how good the original kit wheels are/will be, I can vouch for the quality of these resin items. They feature pin-sharp detail and the quality of casting is excellent. Eduard have chosen not to cast flat spots on the tyres, but these can always be added to suit individual tastes. In common with other resin wheel sets in their range, Eduard have included a set of pre-cut paint masks designed specifically for these wheels. Having used Eduard’s pre-cut masks on a number of occasions, I can vouch for their quality.

Conclusion

I’ll stick my neck out and suggest these resin wheels will probably be a step ahead of their plastic equivalents in terms of detail and finish. Hopefully we won’t have to wait long to check! Highly recommended.
