Howdy folks,

 

I've just published my review of the new block tread Mustang wheels from Barracuda:

Blast, you beat me to it!  I used them on my Revell P-51D and got a LOT of positive comments just about the block tread tyres.  The only thing you have to be careful of is positioning for the brake line on the wheel hub.  Easy to mess that up then the brake line is on the wrong side of the gear leg.

 

But the detail is terrific - as you pointed out and very easy to separate from the mould seam.  At Nats I picked up another set  of these block tyres for another P-51 build (either Tamiya or Revell - have not decided yet).

Very appealing.... and great moulding by this company....

Not particularly these tires, but I am using a set of Barracuda tires for my Revell P-51 kit.  Be very careful

when removing the resin around the center hubs.  It is real easy to chip off a piece or section of the hub

when removing the pour block and and connecting piece to the hub.

These look just awesome, but then that's pretty much what I've come to expect from Barracuda.
