Hi!

I'm looking for 1/35 civil tires for a Syrian 2S3 Akatsiya,for use as extra protection.

Someone know where can I find?

Regards,

Several resin companies offer spare civilian tires.
I don't know what's available to you, but in the US I'd go with a 1/43 semi tractor trailer rig. Most dollar stores offer these for a few bucks and you get eighteen rubber tires rather than the few you'd get from a resin company.

MENG have this set of tires, but I'm not sure if the width of the tires is appropriate

Hi Hisham,
I have the Meng tires, are too high and the GAZ too, I have two from my ZIS gun. Thanks.

I will try the 18Bravo idea.

Hi 18Bravo,
Thanks for the tip, I will try that kind of shop in Portugal.

Best regards,

I hope you find some the right size

Are you planning to build something like this? I want to build one, and I was thinking what I could use for the rope?



Hisham

Use waxed thread used for ship rigging. You can talk to the dudes in model shipwrights for a source. (the last time I bought it was in Berlin)
You can also make it yourself with thick thread and a block of parafin wax. It needs to be waxed to get rid of the fuzzy look, which really detracts from otherwise nice builds I've seen trying to depict rope.

If you can't find that truck where you are let me know. I can get it cheap, and send you the tires.

Hi 18Bravo and Hisham,

I'm trying to do something like this...



18Bravo, can you send me a pic of your tires?

Hisham, for the rope I use the same as 18Bravo or "USCHI VAN DER ROSTEN Elastic Rigging thread superfine"

Regards,

I won't be home any time soon, but I can send them when I do get home. Although they're truck tires, being 1/43 scale they're just right.
