Special Hobby has just announced an Eduard SE5a wheels "correction set" http://www.specialhobby.net/2017/03/se5a-wheels-correction-set-for-148.html
Anybody know what the issue is with the kit's wheels that warranted a correction set?

Cheers

Hi Syd,

the issue is the reproduction of the canvas on the wheel - see attached. I have to say I do not like it either, it is not up to the standard of the rest of the kit, from my POV.

Funny that , Paul. Clicking the Union Jack worked just now, but not earlier today when I first saw it.

That text does explain "The wheels in the CMK set have their tyres with the manufacturer´s name legible (on real aircraft often painted in white) and will also offer much more realistic looking fabric detail on the wire spokes. The set is due in May."

Cheers

Just saw on another site that Eduard has posted images on Facebook of the paint schemes for the Dual Combo boxing due out in May.
