Contact-Résine has returned with another interesting set: weighted wheels for the Trumpeter 1/32 A-7E Corsair II kit. This wheels have really nice bolt pattern details on the main wheels and nosewheels. A little weathering and a dirty dark brown wash on the tires and wheels will make the molded-in details pop out.

These resin wheels are weighed (flat on the bottom) to represent the aircraft sitting on the deck. The high-pressure tires don't bulge like those used on other aircraft types, so these accurately portray the aircraft at rest. These wheels were targeted for the the Trumpeter 1/32 A-7E kit.

If you're looking to add an eye-catching upgrade to the beautiful Trumpeter kits, this is a simple must-have for that Navy SLUF (Short Little Ugly 'Fella'). If you don't like using the rubber tires in the kit, then this is also a useful replacement set.

You can purchase this set online from Design & Marketing International.

My sincere thanks to Design & Marketing International for this review sample!
