178 Euros = US$276
There is also a resin wheel replacement set, truck and trailer, for 45 Euros = US$70
Now, from the photos available it looks like the wheels are simply recast Trumpeter. Not sure if any details of the hubs are improved, but the tread pattern of the MAZ wheels seems to have the same problem as the Trumpeter ones, notably - curved side tread and straight "face" tread. It does not appear that the tires have any more "bulge" either.
The KET-T looks to be a nice kit, with some very nice details, but that price is a killer. Would be nice to see the cab interior better, it may have some good application to the Trumpeter kit.
