Hello
I just bought a M978 Hemtt and I want to convert this vehicle to OIF specification. I want to add a CPK from Real Model and I think I should replace Italeri's wheels. Can somebody tell me which wheels will are suitable?
Besides I've seen pictures of Hemtt Wreckler with GPK / O-GPK. Can I use it on my M977 too ?
Thank You for help

Hi Chris,

nowadays, the HEMTT family roll on Michelin XZL tires. I hink these are available from Real Model. A picture in Tankograds Guntruck book shows one M978 with the machine gun ring and some Hardox plates as additional armor.
