First Look

Sea Fury Block Tread Wheel and Tire Set

Fisher Model and Pattern has been expanding its range of kits and aftermarket detail sets with many of the recent releases benefiting from the three-dimensional printing technology. This set is one of those offerings which allow for the wheels and wheel hubs to be modeled in detail using a computer-aided drawing design package, and then masters are printed using the 3D print system. Once the masters are approved, molds are made and parts are ready for your next project.

This set represents the two main wheels for the Fisher Models 1/32 Sea Fury kits or Hobbycraft 1/32 Sea Fury FB.11 kit. The set provides block-type tread pattern tires with separately cast inner and outer wheel hubs to make painting easy.

This set is a drop-in replacement for the kits' wheels.

My sincere thanks to Fisher Model and Pattern for this review sample!
