Clean up is very minimal and the wheels come attached to the casting blocks with very easy to manage connection points and removal is easily done with no loss of detail.  The detail level and casting quality is flawless.

The kit wheels are usually poorly detailed and these resin wheels with hexagonal treads are a great way to add some excellent detail to this area on your Bristol Beaufighter.  The detail on the tire treads is beautifully done.

You can buy these and many other detail items directly from Ultracast.
