Here's a new set of resin 1/48 P-38 Lightning wheels from Ultracast.   These wheels replace the kit wheels which lack the high level of detail of these Ultracast wheels.  

There are 3 wheels in each set....1 nose wheel and 2 main wheels.  Clean up is easy as the casting blocks are attached to the bottom side of the tire, so and removal is easily done with no loss of detail.  The detail level and casting quality is flawless.  One little detail that I like is the fact these wheels have tire stems for refilling the air.....now that is attention to detail.

These wheels would really dress up your P-38 and they are the ideal thing is you wanted highly detailed wheels with block treads.

I would like to thank Ultracast for providing me with this review sample.
