Here's a new set of Curtiss P-40N Covered Wheels from Ultracast.  These are the 27" light weight wheels with the block tread pattern on the tires.  These wheels have the fine detail and will look quite sharp on your next P-40N.  You are to use the resin wheels instead of the kit wheels.  

There are 2 wheels in each set.  Clean up is very minimal and the wheels come attached to the casting blocks with very easy to manage connection points and removal is easily done with no loss of detail.  The detail level and casting quality is flawless.

The wheels and landing gear are a major focal point on models and these will really improve the look of the undercarriage in your next P-40N.
