Need some help again!! This time for a model!!

[Joe Hudson]

I am trying to get back to building a few models so I am in need of help again!! I have an old kit of the Italeri Puma, if you remember the last kit I built was 30 yrs old(!) andI wanted to see if anyone might know or have extra resin road wheels for this kit. The plastic ones are ok but I would like to do a little better. I have a metal barrel coming for it now, so if anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

BTW, I am almost done with a little model, my first in a few years!! :woohoo:

Thanks. Will these work on the Italeri kit? Sorry not sure about these new things.

Joe,

Send me an e-mail and I will check my stash. I think I have something. The ones I have are designed for Italeri but Royal Models is annoying in their selection. They included three different types in the set so you have to buy multiple sets to have one vehicle with the same tread pattern on all wheels.

So, e-mail me.

Regards,

Not quite sure since they are intented for DML/Cyber Hobby model, but probably with some work they fit just fine. Actually it's a shame that I just found them myself since I have also Puma under work, and there's some extra work involved with DML kit wheels. But hey, it's what modelling is all about.

And with different tread patterns, I have Panzerwrecks vol.4 and there is a picture of 234/2 with three different patterns in same vehicle. I think that specially towards end of war germans used what they could find.

Yes, I know the photo well. However, the tires in the Dragon and Italeri kits are of the later Gelände type. I only found one photograph of the 234/2 using it and that was black 022 (one of the decal options in the Dragon kit). Hussar productions makes some superb wheel sets for the Dragon 234 series. They even have the one that appears the most in the photos of the 234/2 (which is called type three by Hussar Productions)

I'm keeping this built pretty much straight from the box, with exception of Griffon Model barrel. But still very useful review, thanks for that

Well Joe,

I am one of the suckers who bought several of the Royal Model sets to make complete 8 wheel sets for my kits. This is what I have left over, of course there are eight but no spare was provided.

Yours for the price of postage. These are designed for the Italeri kit.

e-mail me again with your postal address if you want them.

Regards,

 

[Joe Hudson]

Saul,

Thanks and God Bless,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Sorry for the delay (you should be getting the wheels today or tomorrow). I don't have FSM anymore. Yet, I have read the articles here and love the painting white one as I hope to tackle some scouts in a winter setting.
