--------------------

Here's a new set of resin 1/48 Curtiss P-40 Wheels with Diamond Tread from Ultracast.  These are designed to fit all variants of the P-40 kits except the P-40N.  These wheels are straight forward to use but for Hasegawa kits you will need to remove the alignment tab in top of the kit axles. 

There are 2 wheels in each set.  Clean up is very minimal and the seats come attached to a casting block with a reasonable thin connection point and removal is easily done.  The detail level is exquisite and you can see in the photos.  

Installation will be no problem and these will definitely add to the detail of your next P-40.  I highly recommend these for your next P-40 if it requires Diamond tread tires.

I'd like to thank Kevin at Ultracast for sending me these review sample.
