What do you guys think about the kit wheel wells  ? Need an upgrade ? ......harv

If they're similar to the ones in the 190D, I'd say they're ok.

Gun mounts never had a canvas covers , other that that its all cool. Oh and the gear legs a tiny bit longer so the kit looks like its standing on tiptoes , another easy fix . Most of the people do not know and majority doesn't care anyways.

Hey Harv,

FWIW, I found that the Aires drop-in wheel well for these kits didn't actually fit...

There's also a lot of excess resin to remove from the casting block on the back side of it, so it's a lot of work to get it into the kit. The details are great, and it eliminates the sink marks in the kit part, but possibly not worth the effort as it will only really be seen once the model is turned over.

HTH,

S

Thanks buddy. I'll stick with the kit....harv

Ah yes, the Aires mantra. 

"Looks great!  Won't fit!"
