Hi all,
This is my first new topic post here... but I think its a good one.

I just got the new "Pro Art Super Swampers Wheels for Dumvee" set in the mail from Blast models. Let me first say that Blast is a great company with terrific customer service. As for the Super Swampers... they are really nice. I compared them with my refences and they look spot on. I must give credit to Dirk at Pro Art, he has accurately recreated the very detailed tread pattern. I highly recommend the set for anyone doing a OEF/OIF Spec Ops Dumvee.

Here are some pics I took. (Any advice with digital photos would be appreciated)



Enjoy,
Broiler

Hope this helps. Very nice, BTW. And your photography skills are better than mine.

They look good. Maybe a little narrow, but could be just the angler of the pic. Still very nice looking.

They do look a bit narrow as stated, but being the only game in town, I'm gonna get a set and make Gremlins.

As I had these on my old truck (33"X12.5") the tread looks spot on.As for the size (scale) I can't say anything.

I think they look pretty good. Here is a picture that I took of the real deal during OIF 1.





There are more DUMVEE pics in my gallery if anyone is interested in some detail shots. They were taken in Al-Kut.
