Thanks!

Nice but once again they show the correct tire pattern on the box art yet different and possibly wrong tread pattern on the plastic sprues?

Any ideas why?

Keith.

Keith, I did address this issue in the review, but could only offer speculation as to the reason this was done. It is, however, as it is.

great in-box review, thanks!

Thanks for a great review. It's a shame about the wheel tread, but gaso-line makes resin replacements. Also, maybe BlackDog will come out with a good upgrade and storage set.. and maybe some better weapons!

I was hoping for a plastic one of these in 1/35.. mainly because of my eyesight.. but I think I'll try one when they hit the online stores.

The resin wheels can be bought at quarter-kit.com
Oliver there is awesome and will help if any resin is lost or damaged.

Great review Matthew. Thanks!

Greg, I can see them in the Gaso.Line catalogue, but not actually on sale... did you see them? Maybe they're not available yet?

Thanks to all above, appreciation appreciated.

Hi, well I saw the offer for the free tires with the purchase of the kit. I did a search on the site using "tires" and then "wheels" and came up different options. I'm not sure if any of these could work:

sending an email to Oliver may be the best option
