Gunnie, or anyone else out there, I have been putting together the parts to build a 1/35 M123A1C tractor to go with a modified Tamiya M15 (A1) trailer. Latest snag is the wheels for the truck. I cannot find any wheels in the proper 14x24 size to fit the Dragon Wagon sized tires. If anyone out there is willing to cast a set of wheels or wheels/tires, I would appreciate it very much. They are basically standard 5 slot military split-rim with 10 lugnuts, however, larger than 5-ton rims.

Here are some photo's of the real thing:

M123A1C wheels 2

Any takers out there?

Gino - Option One would be to contact TW directly to get their nice set of resin tires from their M123 kits. Nice people to work with.

Option Two would be for me to cast a knock-off set for you. Not something I'd normally consider doing - I wouldn't want someone casting knock-off's of my stuff either. I got your PM on this but hadn't had a chance to respond. If Option One doesn't work out, then let me know.

If someone else is willing to pony up a set for you like that - I wouldn't be offended .

Gunnie,
Thanks, I'll check with TW. I didn't think they would just sell the wheels/ tires by themselves. I'll let you know if this doesn't work.
