1/32 P-47 Thunderbolt spoked, diamond-tread wheel set (for Revell, Trumpeter, and Hasagawa kits)

review by Chris Sherland

J Rutman Products has released a new set of 1/32 resin replacement wheels for the P-47 Thunderbolt. These can fit all the 1/32 kits on the market and are direct replacements for the kit parts.

The main wheels are offered as a 3 part assembly: wheel, hub backing, and spoked hub. The tail wheel is a solid resin single piece.

The tread is the diamond pattern and the main wheels have a very subtle weighting effect as well as a "flat spot" for more believable ground contact.

The set is cast well from detailed and accurate masters and includes two main wheels (6 parts) and a single tail wheel. The set is available from the J Rutman Products website:

Thanks to J Rutman Products for the review sample.
