Hopefully a quick question...

I would like opinions on which aftermarket replacement front wheel set for the Dragon series of US half-track kits would be considered the "best"?
I really do not like the look of the bulged OOB wheels.

Thanks,

I've used both Squadron and Tank Workshop. I prefer the Tank Workshop set, but both are good.

Anyone suggest any good reliable sources for these wheels in the USA, I never received the last ones I ordered, the "RAT" ran off with my money !

Did you order them direct from Air Connection? I've had nothing but great service from them.

I really like the review and the look of these wheels. I only wished the They were available separately, as I don't believe I will have a lot of use for the directional tread pattern wheels. Doesn't mean I won't try a set or two, I'm just not sure what I will do with so many of the earlier pattern wheels. Oh well, c'est la guerre!

Thanks!

Ian: I got mine from CRM hobbies. Air Connection direct is an option too. They are in Canada.

David, before you throw them away, I could use the directional pattern ones. I'm sure they could also be adapted to an early M3A1 Scout Car. Just drop me a PM in case you want to get rid of them...

Cheers!
