Here's a new set of resin P-40 wheels from Ultracast.  These are designed to fit most variants except P-40N.  These wheels have the Block tread on the tires.  You are to use the resin part instead of the poorly detailed kit part.  

There are 2 wheels in each set.  Clean up is very minimal and the wheels come attached to a casting block with a reasonably thin connection point and removal is quickly done.  The detail level is exquisite.

Installation will be no problem and these will definitely add to the detail of your next P-40.  I highly recommend these for your next P-40.

I'd like to thank Kevin at Ultracast for sending me these review sample.
