Hi Guys

Time for one of those stupid questions! I keep reading (magazines, books etc.) about dished (road / bogie) wheels for the Shermans and each time Academy Sherman kits are mentioned as having the best examples of these.

Now which Academy Sherman kit would that be? I have searched high and low and still cannot find it. The only one close to the Sherman I find is the M12 and that has pressed and spoke wheels only.

I have tried to find Dished wheels and only get Distressed Dished Road Wheels.

I know The Tank Workshop makes a set, who else and preferably with online ordering.

Academy does not make a Sherman per se. They do however make the M12 which used a Sherman's lower hull and bogies.

The Academy M12 kit has both spoked and dished wheel options.
Also, Verlinden Productions kit # 2024 -Sherman Update Kit has the dished wheels too.

If I recall correctly their M.10 has a set of dished wheels. :-)

Maybe you guys could help me out on this one I just checked my academy M10 and it does have a set of dished wheels.now I wish to do a Ardenne dio with this kit would i need to put the dishes on it or could i get away with mid production, if i dont need them savage can have them. :-)
