Plus Model has released three sets of 1/48 scale wheels for MiG-15 and MiG-21 models.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The three sets are:

 

AL4098 - MiG-15 Wheels

 

AL4098 - MiG-21 Late Wheels and

 

AL4098 - MiG-21 Early Wheels

 

Each set includes six or seven parts perfectly cast in grey resin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The outer hubs are cast along with the tyres in one piece each.

 

Detail is crisp and casting quality is perfect on my samples.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The tyres are subtly bulged and flattened.

 

Cleanup should be straightforward with just a relatively small casting block to cut away on each part. A razor saw and medium grade sanding stick will quickly take care of this job.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In addition to the resin wheels, each set also includes die-cut self-adhesive painting masks.
