CMD - 1942 STZ Wheel Set Coming...

[Sharkmouth]

I was sent an early sample. At the moment there is no product number or price (I will post in this forum when I get that information).

This is the set without any clean up performed. They are designed for the DML kit but I will be using them on my TMD kit.

I opened up a sealed DML STZ Model 1942 kit and here are the parts compared to the CMD items (which I STILL have not cleaned up):

The roadwheels feature the welded on edge on the inner sides. When assembled, they have the correct staggering of the lightening holes. Thanks to constructive criticism, the lightening holes will be enlarged on the master for the production run. Kit hubs are used.

Drive wheels. The area around the roller bolts is different as is the inner bolt collar near the hub. Also, there are alignment guides which are missing from the Dragon kit.

Idlers. These have smaller tear shaped lightening holes and a different hub. The photo above them do show larger holes but they also show how bolts on the hub would create the shape of the CMD part.
