The price is there if you click the link.... It's not very apparent in the post so here it is.... Click Here
This one is for Brian. Just a critique of your site. You are doing yourself an disservice by using a large amount of out-of-focus and poor depth-of-field shots of your products. Best to use just 1 or 2 good shots instead of several mediocre ones. Sure makes a difference in the final decision to purchase an aftermarket item.
This is good.... In Focus
This is not.... Out-of-focus
Cheers,
John
Thank you John for your feedback -- I will try to replace with more crisp close-up shots -- I agree that it would go a long way with the decision-making process
And, apologies for the missing link - thank you John for reposting!
Price for this set is $14.99, however I have an open offer to all ARC members to receive a 10% cart discount by using the following COUPON CODE: arc2016
Bye for now,

The MpM and Revell kits have been around for years. This is a replacement main wheel detail set for the MpM and/or Revell Douglas A-20 Havoc! As with it’s bigger brother in 1/48, these little gems exude quality and detail and will be a HUGE improvement over the kit parts, at a very affordable price.
The diamond tread is represented with enough relief to provide for weathering washes, yet is not overdone in depth or width. Separate front and rear hubs facilitate easy painting — no masks necessary!

Hi Duncan, thats great, many thanks for the reply and kind offer, much appreciated.
What bits are you looking for in regards a trade? Take it to PMs with ideas if youd prefer.
Hi there, Brian. It would be great if you did make some covers for these. Theres still many a model of them out there and the "fit" of the engine ducting leaves a little be desired/covered up.
The Twomikes set included intake and exhaust covers, neither being all that complicated to make up (unless youre me ;)/> ) the exhaust is just a disc with some detail, basically.
If you need any images to help, I have a load from the net and elsewhere that Ill happily send over to you.
Thanks, Rob - I'll reach out to you
My plan would be to recreate about 6 or 7 mm back from the tail opening for the exhaust and sell a closed and open version. It's never fun to fill/sand/assemble open ducts like that. Nowadays, they are molded as one piece!

Hi Rob
I run resin2detail.com and I will look into making a pair of those engine covers for the SU – 25. Right now I have a set of SU 25 wheels including nose wheel with shroud but will be adding more items as time goes on
I'm always looking for new and interesting products to add to my product line

The AMT A-20 kit is the only game in town in 1/48, and it is actually a really good kit – nice panel lines, accurate shape, decent amount of detail.
One area that definitely needs improvement is the landing gear.
RESIN2detail has come to your rescue with this highly-detailed and refined main wheel set in 1/48. The diamond tread is represented with enough relief to provide for weathering washes, yet is not overdone in depth or width. Separate front and rear hubs facilitate easy painting — no masks necessary!

RESIN2Detail is proud to announce two eagerly awaited releases for the Monogram 1/48 B-17 G Flying Fortress Kit.
The venerable B-17 G kit released in the 1970s is still a rock-solid model, and very affordable and readily available online and elsewhere since its re-release — Although, some of the more visible areas need detailing. What’s more, the kit does not come with a means to model a late-model G featuring the Cheyenne Turret or Staggered Waist Gunner positions (outside of the long OOP Model Master edition released in the early 1990s). Both of these updates/conversions are critically important variants for the WWII aircraft modeler and Flying Fortress enthusiast.
Well, wait no longer – R2D has done it again with these two major releases! You will not be disappointed.

B-17 G CHEYENNE TAIL Conversion Kit (for Monogram 1/48 G)
Have you been eager to convert your Flying Fortress into a late model Cheyenne-tailed version, but not taken the leap yet due to the lack of good aftermarket alternatives? If so, take a peek at R2D’s top-shelf offering heaped with loads of mouth-watering detail. The contours were precisely mapped to the actual model using 3D scanning technology.The kit features a replacement tail, complete with clear resin canopy, and molded in sidewall and floor detail. But that is not all – you get replacement .50 Cal MGs with flash suppressors, “bicycle” seat & frame, “tripod” tubular mount, ammo belts, gun sight, heating tubes (yes – heating tubes), armored glass and realistic ammo boxes! It has to be seen to be believed!
Comes with detailed set of instructions.

AC48013
B-17 G STAGGERED WAIST GUNNER Conversion Kit (for Monogram 1/48 G)
Going hand-in-hand with the Cheyenne Turret conversion (AC48012) is this super-detailed way to accurize and stagger your late-model B-17 G waist gunner positions! Features integral clear fuselage sections for port and starboard sides, which have the clear Plexiglas gunner windows with openings for K-6 gun mounts (included).As with the Cheyenne Conversion kit, this kit also features 2 full and highly-detailed M3 Browning Machine Guns along with Ammo Boxes & Belts! Position the guns to your liking by swiveling the mounts.
The interior walls of the replacement fuselage sections feature nice accurate and to-scale ribbing, mounts, hoses, etc. that will add realism to the finished product.
