Ok as I'm starting my jumbo build I would like some opinions. Is it me or does cobra king have solid not spoked wheels I have been told that most jumbos had the spoked wheels. Was it common for mud to build up enough in there? I was looking at the photo in armored thunder as that's the clearest I can find. Just wanted to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me. Thanks for any info!

Hi Matt,

According to Steve Zaloga they are the spoked type with small holes:

well i really like the painting on it at least. that is my biggest weak spot, i need to test out some mig pigments to get better weathering on my tanks. and since i have spent so much on my model thus far (i splurged and bought the blast models kit) i really want it to look nice, so even if i get the assembly done soon i'll wait on the painting a little or at least until my skills improve.
