Hussar Productions continue to produce superbly detailed replacement resin wheels for 1:35 vehicles and this latest set is designed for the Tamiya Quad Gun Tractor which was released initially with the 25pdr. field gun (kit #35044) and on its own (kit #34045) with both kits having been around for quite some time.

The set consists of 4 wheels in light cream resin which feature the Firestone 'Cross Country' tread pattern typical of the type used on the Quad Tractor.

4 Resin wheels, note small casting plug.

The quality of the resin casting is superb with just some very small remnants of the casting plugs to be removed and the resulting small scar can easily be hidden at ground contact. The tread is cleanly cast but there is the odd air hole but these are very much in the minority.

Detail on the wheel rims which are different for the front and rear wheels is very well done with well defined hubs, wheel nuts and rim contours as well the fine tyre valve stems included, this had broken off one of my wheels but you can easily add this back from thin sprue if required.

There is no sidewall embossing included and you should note the tread pattern is directional and you should ensure the appropriate wheel if fitted to the correct side of the kit with the tread facing the correct direction as shown below.

Included on the inside hub is the locating bush the same as on the Tamiya kit wheels making fitting the resin wheels very simple as they fit to the kit axles without any alterations required.

This is another excellent set of wheels from Hussar Productions with clean crisp retail and very little cleanup required.

The Cross Country tread pattern is very well done as are the wheel hubs and with no alterations needed to fit the target kit maker for a quick and easy update if you still have the Tamiya kit lurking in your stash.

Highly recommended
