Def.Model have been busy and have announced the availability of several new sagged wheel sets. Meng’s Cougar 6x6 MRAP, AFV Club’s M38A1 Truck (aka Jeep), Trumpeter’s BTR-40 APC and GAZ-66, and Dragon’s Saladin all get Def.Model resin sagged wheels, including the spares, etched parts where appropriate and paint masks.

On the Saladin, looks like a different tyre pattern. Found this picture with both installed. (Museum piece. I make no claims as to operational use.)

Nick, nice. Had another look and saw one or two more examples with an apparent mixture of the two tyre types.
