Typhoon Wheels & Exhaust Stacks (648412, 648413 & 648414 for Eduard/Hasegawa)

It's no secret that Hasegawa plastic is found in the latest Limited Edition from Eduard, which you can read about here, and Eduard can always improve on what's in the kit, which they already have done.  For the truly detail hungry modeller though, they often release additional sets, which we have here.  As usual with Eduard's resin sets, they arrive in the familiar Brassin clamshell box, with the resin parts safely cocooned on dark grey foam inserts, and the instructions sandwiched between the two halves, doubling as the header card.

Wheels Early & Late (648412 & 648413)

Both these sets contain the same components, with the main difference being seen in the inner and outer hub shape, which although subtle is there.  You get two resin main wheels with a high level of detail in the tyre and hub, plus a tail wheel in white resin, and masks for all three wheels (not pictured), so you can paint those demarcations easily.  They're a big improvement on the kit parts, which are bland and a little over-weighted.

Exhaust Stacks (648414)

These are a simple drop-in replacement for the kit parts with just two pieces in the box, and nice hollow stacks as you can see from the photo.  Simply cut them off their blocks and install them with a dab of super glue.
