BRDM Tire set
1/35th #TX 0106
Review by Terry Ashley
The set consist of the four wheel/tyres cast in light cream resin and are simply resin reproductions of the Dragon kit plastic rim/vinyl tyre combination incorporating the same details as the kit wheels and some very subtle weighted effect on the bottom where the casting block attaches to the tyre.
There are a couple of problems in that the tyre/rim join is not well defined but should be represented better with careful painting. There are also a couple of sizable air bubbles present which will require filling or you hide these with a coating of mud?
A couple of wheel hubs is also quite egg shaped and this may just be with the set I have but there is little you can do about this.
The wheels fit to the kits in the same manner as the kit wheels and if you prefer resin wheels to the kit vinyl wheels then this set is the simplest of updates.
