These are all very nice detail sets of resin wheels and tires from Fisher Model and Pattern with the hubs on all the supplied sets displaying amazing detail.

The only detail that I would love to check is that some of the tires appear flat in profile.

I do not have access to any of the listed aircraft and many images online are of static display aircraft that do not have correctly inflated tires. Images of operational Su-25 Frogfoot aircraft do have a cambered vice flat profile. It is a comment that I cannot verify, just an observation.

The SR-71 set is amazing and as shown, they are far superior to the original injected plastic as the image of my Testors kit shows.

Fisher Models and Pattern provide sets for the following aircraft:

• A-3219 F-105 Thunderchief, wheel set- made for the Trumpeter kit.

• A-3223 Su-25 Frogfoot, wheel & tire set made for the Trumpeter kit, these are excellent.

• A-3227 F-84 Thunderjet,  cast resin wheels and tires to up-grade the HobbyBoss 1/32 scale F-84 Thunderjet.

• A-4806 SR-71 wheels and tires for the Testors kit.

One remove from the casting blocks there is a minor seamline on each set that will require cleanup, not a major task.

These are all very simple drop fit replacement part and I can recommend all these resin products. All are well cast and will add great detail to your aircraft.

Thanks to Fisher Model and Pattern for the review sample.
