Review by Steve Bamford on Aug 6 2009

 

This latest release from Aires features a set wheels & paint masks for the Mi-17 Hip H  from Hobby Boss.  These wheels have excellent detail on the front and back side.

The quality of the resin casting is excellent.  My sample had one tiny pin prick hole on one of the tire sidewalls that would take a second to fill.  The tires have tread and there is a flat side on the tires, but no bulging, so they will look very realistic.

You can purchase these and other fine resin detail items directly from Aires or from the many retailers that carry their products.  A list of some of those retailers can be found here.    

These are very well done wheels and a good item to pick up if you are building the Mi-17 Hip H  from Hobby Boss.

I would like to thank Aires for providing me with this review sample.
