Detailed Description and Application
Eduard BRASSIN DIAMOND TREAD wheels are designed as a direct replacement for less detailed factory parts. Resin production technology allows for the capture of subtle details such as tire texture, tread depth, and precisely cast wheel hubs. These parts are ready for assembly after light cleanup of resin pour stubs, which is a standard procedure for this type of accessory.
Compatibility
This wheel set is designed for North American P-51B/C Mustang models in 1/72 scale. It is especially recommended for kits offered by Arma Hobby, ensuring excellent fit and a realistic enhancement to the build. It may also be compatible with other P-51B/C models in the same scale; however, verifying the fit before assembly is recommended.
Painting Recommendations
Resin wheels typically require painting to achieve a realistic appearance. Tires should be painted black (e.g., Gunze H77 Tire Black, Tamiya XF-85 Rubber Black), and the rims in an appropriate color, which depends on the aircraft variant and historical documentation (often Aluminum, Zinc Chromate Green, or the fuselage color).
Investing in Eduard BRASSIN resin wheels is an effective way to significantly elevate the level of realism and aesthetics of any P-51B/C model, adding distinctive, fine details that make modeling masterpieces stand out.
