MSRP: $7.95 Website: www.aires.cz Aires offers these replacement wheels for the Hasegawa TBM Avenger. They are molded in a light gray resin that is bubble free and very detailed when you compare them with the kit wheels. I found that the Hasegawa TBM kit is no longer offered, so you will either have to find one on your own at places such as E-bay, or at one of the IPMS contest vendor rooms. I did happen to have an Academy kit, and an Airfix kit so I compared these. There are no real problems using these on another brand of kit. I only had to clip a little off of the landing gear attachment and make the hole a little wider

The instructions were clear, and had easy to understand drawings. Once painted the details just jump out and look really good on the model. As you can see in the "finished" photo, the wheels add a lot to the landing gear. I highly recommend this set and say thanks to IPMS USA and Aires for the chance to do this review.
