The Eduard 6481052 set features excellent detail reproduction, with clearly defined tread and authentic rim proportions. The wheels are dedicated to the late versions of the Bell P-39 Airacobra, a single-seat fighter used, among others, by the USAAF, Soviet Air Forces (under Lend-Lease), and the RAF. The Airacobra gained its fame mainly on the Eastern Front, where it performed well as a support aircraft and escort fighter. The late versions of the P-39 differed, among other things, in tire patterns and landing gear details, which makes this accessory historically accurate.

For the modeller's convenience, the set also includes self-adhesive masks, which allow for quick and precise masking of the tires during wheel painting, resulting in a perfect model finish. The resin wheels feature crisp details unattainable with standard plastic parts, making them especially recommended for enthusiasts of faithfully reproduced historical machines and contest dioramas.

We recommend this set to both intermediate and experienced modelers. The assembly of the wheels and use of the masks is rated at a difficulty level of 2/5 – the product will not be challenging for those with basic skills in working with resin. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking to add exceptional depth of detail to their P-39 Airacobra model and elevate its appearance to contest-standard levels.
