FirstLook

These five spoke wheels are suitable for pre-war and early Hurricane Mk I’s, although some later Mk.I’s can be seen with the later 4-spoke wheel also associated with the Mk.II & IV (I believe Canadian built Mk.XII’s used a 3-spoke design). They are ideally suited to Airfix’s recent Hurricane Mk.I fabric-wing kit, which has incorrect 4-spoke wheels.

 

 

RES-IM's wheels come in a resealable cellophane bag with card stiffener. They are nicely detailed and cast with easily removed casting blocks.

 

 

Conclusion

 

These are ideal replacement wheels for the recent fabric wing MK.I Hurricane by Airfix, and any other brand early Hurricane such as Sword’s and its AZ Model re-box.

I’m happy to recommend them.

Thanks to Resin Improvement for the review sample.
