While I struggle with one the last RoG Wolf truck (luckily, it`s OOP), I feels there`s an urgent need for an up-to-date Lkw 0,5 ton gl/Wolf/G-Wagon. Takom do you listen???

I have a large number of those kits intended for Azimut and Blast conversions. I hear you but in the meantime, good aftermarket wheels would be a first step.
I told DEF but they're not interested. Azimut did a set, I believe now OOP and also MR Models. But I wish someone like DEF or Hussar made some...

There are reference DVDs out there, maybe they could invest 15€ in research?

Dio Factory has several, check out their website or eBay.de there's a general one at 10,50€ or best offer, frankly with the Euro so low, they would be cheap not to get one. I think I saw other DVDs but can't remember the seller. After that there are always the usual suspects like Prime Portal, Panzermodell.de , etc... But DVD would be best.
I bought from Dio Factory several times, very reliable, great products.

Azimut Prod wheels are very nice. I don't understand why You say those wheels are out of production. They are still visible on the website.

Ah, thanks for the good laugh in the morning!

If only their website accurately showed actually available products, if only...

Just enough to verify and in this particular case these wheels are always made.

The Azimut wheels are not available as a separate set to my knowledge. I wish they were.

Alex,
You don't understand.
80 to 90% of Azimut/BVM products (and I'm being optimistic) are still listed on the site and will never be available again.
I have visited the shop many times and haven't seen those wheels available for some time. They might have recast them but the ONLY way to be sure is to give a phone call.
Cheers,
Christophe

I have a set too, my point was I don't think they are still available.
I have to call Azimut soon for something else, so I'll ask them about those wheels.

I sent them an e-mail two days ago and they said those wheels are always made. I don't undersdtand why people assert anything without knowing.

Excuse me Alex but isn't it essential to know wether this is indeed "always made" or available right now (as "in stock")?
I take what they say with a grain of salt. If that has to wait for the elusive next casting, sometimes it happens (granted I've had a few good suprises) sometimes it doesn't.

FYI I put my name down for something that I was told may be recast eventually. That was what 6 or 7 years ago and still nothing. Not complaining because I haven't paid any money yet.
It's still on the website though, presumably "still being made"?
Cheers,
Christophe

And back on topic there is a really good diecast from Y-Serie that can be found cheap on eBay sometimes.
It's possible to disassemble it. I've started doing that, planning to do a Danish special forces version but that project has been gathering dust in a box for years.
