NOTES:

resin. S&h is $7.50 CDN 

Ultracast has always done well producing resin wheels and this starts a series that should find a lot of use. There are two different sets shown here of wheels for the Corsair and Hellcat. These are the 32"x8" standard wheels with set 48186 being a Diamond tread and 48187 having block tread.

The wheels are superbly molded without a trace of molding flaws. Ultracast products are always top notch and I've never had one with any sort of glitch. Removing the wheels from the resin base should be quite easy to do; a razor saw making quick work of it.

These wheels are applicable to any 1/48 F4U and F6F that uses the standard wheels, which would be about all of the early/mid production aircraft.
