Heinkel 111 Wheels Early & Late (648542 & 648543)

1:48 Eduard Brassin

 

 

We’re all probably well-aware of ICM’s recent range of He.111 kits, which is growing by the month and even contains a Zwilling, much to my own surprise and delight.  Eduard have been releasing a number of sets to up the detail, with these two wheel sets the latest from the Brassin line.  As is now usual with Eduard's smaller Brassin sets, they arrive in a flat resealable package, with a white backing card protecting the contents and the instructions that are sandwiched between.  Each set contains two grey resin main wheels and a tail wheel on separate pour blocks that attach to the parts on the slightly flattened contact patch for minimal clean-up, plus a set of masks (not pictured) to ease the task of painting them.

 

He.111 Early Wheels (648542)

These wheels have a deep radial tread pattern on the contact patch with Continental branding and specification on the sidewalls of them all.  There is also a new yoke for the tail wheel in darker grey resin that appears to be stronger than the lighter grey.

 

 

 

 

He.111 Late Wheels (648543)

These wheels have a raised radial tread pattern on the sidewalls that fades as it reaches the rolling surface. The Continental branding is much larger and specification on the sidewalls is absent - apart from the code BF44.

 

 

 

Conclusion

Superb detail as always with Eduard resin, and as they’re drop-fit and don’t have any seams to hide, why wouldn’t you want a set?

 

Very highly recommended.
