Lindsey C Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Hi guys, Can't find any complaints on 'tinternet'. I have just received an order which includes 3 sets of aftermarket Reskit 1:72 resin wheels (RS72-0287) for early Hurricanes I will be building later. They are far too small and are more like 1:100 scale. They are far smaller than all other kits I have! The tail wheel is ok. In the same order are sets of Reskit Bf109E wheels and the size is fine (cracking looking detail!). Anyone else purchased said RS72-0287 wheels and anyone know the outside diameter of an actual Hurricane Mk1 tyre?

The wheels supplied in the Airfix Mk.I fabric kit are too big (try fitting them through the UC bay opening) but the retracted option look OK I found this, difficult to say from this, the tyres look a bit small... there was a problem with the resin wheels in the Eduard Hurristory boxing of the Arma Hobby kit being too small initially. though I noticed they do a set of "ResKit RS72-288 1/72 Hawker Hurricane late type 1 wheels set (square block tread)" I have never seen a WW2 era Hurricane with treaded tyres.

Lindsey C Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Hi Troy, The Eduard 'Hurristory' wrong wheels are about 1:144. I have 2 pairs of them! I also have spare Airfix 'big' wheels that got replaced! lol. These Reskit ones look to be around 1:90. I think they did 'an Eduard'! 🤣 They look distinctly small the second you see them. Methinks they will be returned 🙄 Lindsey Edited August 25, 2022 by Lindsey C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
