Here's a new set of resin P-40N wheels from Ultracast.  These are designed for the P-40N and are the 27" light weight 8-spoked wheels.  These wheels have the diamond tread on the tires.  You are to use the resin part instead of the poorly detailed kit part.  

There are 2 wheels in each set.  Clean up is very minimal and the wheels come attached to a casting block with a reasonably thin connection point and removal is quickly done.  The detail level is first rate.....as we expect from Ultracast.  

Installation will be no problem and these will definitely add to the detail of your next P-40N.  I definitely recommend these for your next P-40.....the wheels do make a difference.

I'd like to thank Kevin at Ultracast for sending me these review sample.
