    some nice wheel well detail
    disadvantage of most Eduard kits, they come with a molded on pitot tube, not always sure if it makes it ´til the end...😄

    Wheel wells do look great, Reinhard @grimreaper
    Indeed, a high chance of loosing that pitot tube. Not a practicle solution of Eduard.

    The wells look great and I totally agree on your thoughts on the molded-on pitot.
