Jamie, as supplied, the kit wheels don't look too bad. They're moulded to represent the pressed metal spokes, and have a bit of a tread appearance to the tyres, but just looked a bit 'soft' in detail to me. BUT I made mine worse by trying to enhance them at the time, probably 18 years ago now I think. I drilled out and filed the 'slots' between the spokes, but Ii should have really put a plastic disc behind the hub, inside the wheel, recessed. As a result, they now look bl**dy awful in my opinion, and the aftermarket resin wheels are no longer available. Maybe someone will re-issue some now the Revell kit is out?
Basically, if you assemble the wheels, sand off the tread, and do some careful painting and maybe a bit of a wash over the wheel rims, they'll look fine. The kit itself is a bit on the basic side, but was 'the business' when first released, and with a little extra detailing work can look very good as a Mk1.As it's such a chunky beast, it's worth doing some extra work, and a very nice model can result.
If you need any detail shots, including cockpit etc, let me know. I can send you a book on CD, after this weekend when my PC's CD drive is replaced (and the bl**dy Postal Strike out of the way!), plus some of my own pics and some diagrams, plans etc.
