The Focke Wulf 190 has been kitted by every major
kit manufacturer. Often times the
kit wheels leave a bit to be desired, whether they were anemic or lack detail on
either the hub, tread or brake side. Ultracast
has provided an answer for both early and late model FW-190s.
Molded in light cream colored resin the wheels are perfectly molded with
no blemishes or imperfections. This
is the typical quality that I’ve come to expect from Ultracast.
Unlike other aftermarket manufacturers
Ultracast’s tires show a realistic bulge.
Not the flat tire syndrome that some aftermarket wheels have but a
realistic scaled weighted appearance. Removal
of the tires is a simple swipe with the razor saw or knife blade. Only the area where it is removed from the pour block is the
only place that needs cleanup. There
is no ‘seam’ around the circumference.
The wheels feature a hole for the axle that will
fit most kits. This ensures that
the axle is centered.
Often times a Focke Wulf 190 will have different
types of tires on a single airplane. The
one that immediately comes to mind is the FW-190D-13 “Yellow 13” which had a
smooth and treaded tire. Well now
you can do it justice.
Simple cleanup and beautiful detail without any
bubbles, perfect additions for your Focke Wulf model.
