Do we really need more Kuebelwagen tires? Not trying to be harsh, but do we? Maybe so?

Personally I do as the tires that my Dragon kit came with aren't appropriate for North Africa. Otherwise I'd probably agree with you.

No we don't really, these are already available by several others. There are many wheels I am still pining for.

Actually, we do!

But not those...

Nobody does the large Kübelwagen wheels similar to Schwimmwagen (with all terrain tyres).

I've been lobbying a few aftermarket manufacturers trying to convince them to do a 1/35 set, but to no avail.

Oh and Schwimmwagen wheels don't fit because Kübel is a 4x2 not 4X4 like Schwimm and front hubs are different.

Cheers,

Christophe
