This latest release from Aires features a pair main resin  wheel bays for the SB2C Helldiver from Academy. 

This detail set includes 2 main wheel wells and resin rods for inside the wheels wells.

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  Each wheel well contains rivets and plumbing and ribbing, which all looks very realistic.  You will be required to remove some plastic from the kit parts to fit these resin wheels wells.

This is a great wheel well set and will be a big improvement over the kit parts. 

You can purchase this and other fine resin detail items directly from Aires or from the many retailers that carry their products.  

I would like to thank Aires for providing me with this product sample.
