Thanks!

Thanks Jacques for the review. I finally got hold of the set through hobbyeasy after months of waiting. It is truly accurate looking and well-casted set. Amazing quality from Miniarm. However, like Jacques pointed out, it was quite expensive. After shipping, it was close to $40 I think- yes, just for wheels.. If I had ordered from a seller in Russia, it was going to be around $50..
I am sure many of us are waiting for Trumpeter's release of BTR-80A.
In the meantime, Zvezda + Miniarm wheels are the best we can get.

One small mistake in the review right at the end. It says that there is a stem that runs frim the hub to the rim...it should continue that this piece is MISSING from the Miniarm wheels. This is part of the central tire inflation system and is noticeable and can be replicated with a small swuare piece of styrene and some copper wire.

Otherwise the only "problem" with the wheels is the price. I really like them though...they are very tempting to buy several sets no matter the price.

And I hope Trumpeter gets these correct, that would be a great help.

Corrected in the review Jacques, thanks

Thanks for the review Jacques. I only can second your conclusion about Miniarm products prices
