[review image] What Aires provides are two pieces: a resin casting that has the two main wheels and the nose wheel and a sheet for the painting masks. The resin wheels are finely cast in a light grey resin and can be removed from the casting block with no problems. I was curious how the Aires wheels differed from the Revell kit wheels so I placed the two side by side in a photo for you to see. Checking on the web confirms that Aires did get the correct wheels even with some tread.


As for use, the process is simple, just remove the wheels, clean up the casting marks and follow the directions. Paint the hub the color required, when dried attach the mask and then paint the wheel the tire color you want. Remove the mask and you're done, the masks were easy to put on and remove and left no residue.

If you want to make an accurate Mig-21F-13 then this set will certainly be a step in the right direction for your Revell kit. I highly recommend this product.

I would like to thank IPMS/USA and Aires for the opportunity to review this product.
