This latest release from Wheelliant features a complete set of resin wheels and weighted tires for the F-16CG/CJ Fighting Falcon from Academy.  These are Goodyear aircraft tires.

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  The detail is crisp and includes tire treads and writing on the side of the tires.  The detail on the wheels is very well done and amazing to view in person and if you look carefully at the photo directly below you will see there are tiny little valve stems for adding air to the tire.  The 2 pages of instructions are simple and easy to follow.  There is also a piece of copper wire for adding brake lines to your landing gear and this is shown in the instructions.

These resin wheels from Wheelliant are setting a whole new standard in detail for wheels and tires on jet models.  You will not be disappointed with the level of detail on these wheels and tires, they are a big improvement over the kit parts.

You can purchase these and other fine resin detail items directly from Wheelliant.
