Clearly I am focusing this thread primarily of the AA-60 crash truck (at least for now!) Here are interior views of some of the equipment lockers on the vehicle:
Note the pump engine in the left rear corner of the vehicle. If you look carefully underneath that compartment you will also notice a muffler and exhaust pipe.

Hi;
I can see Trumpeter giving this a shot
What I Cant See is the Cost. In the 200$ Price Range !
Man Id love too see this thing in 1/35, and the Coastal Mobile gun system. Why not; Its not Out of the Realm of the way things are going lately. If were going too whish for Dream Subjects, why not Go Big !!
CHEERS; MIKE.

Damian - not sure exactly what you are trying to say here. Yes, there are two common tread patterns used on the 543 as shown below.
Given the "crispness" of the aftermarket tires and that the kit tires look overly wide (also look like they have 60,000 miles on them.) I think I will stick with the aftermarket tires.

Page 3 of this thread shows another aftermarket resin tire for the 543 these are offered by Tank Workshop. The wheel hubs definately look more sharply done along with the very sharp, well done tread pattern. Also there is no seam down the middle of the tread to fill in later. Mike

I like the original kit tires and wheels as long as you do not compair them with the aftermarket versions. But after seeing the quality of the Tank Workshop set I am very happy to be using them on my crash truck.
p.s. I will say that I wonder about the correct width of the tires. The tires that come with the kit seem slightly too wide whereas the aftermarket Tank Workshop tires appear maybe 15-20% too narrow????

Of course whichever tire is used I will be sanding flats into the bottom "footprint" of the tire to give a greater indication of the mass of this monster vehicle.

Just an F.Y.I. - That is the product review for the MAZ-537 tires (different center hub) but the Scud tires are mentioned in this review at one point. Regards Mike
