Greetings all,

I need a proper set of wheels for a Humvee (most likely Academy) as I will need its wheels for another project. I couldn't find any manifacturers who offer wheel sets, resin or otherwise... Does anyone have any idea where I can get them?

Thanks a lot,
HeavyArty

There are quite a few sets out there. Blast, Real Model, MIG, Caliber 35, Verlinden, and others all do replcement sets. Here is a side by side comparison of them from PMMS.

There were not a lot made for the Academy or Italeri kits, Tank Work Shop is the only one that comes to mind. A lot of sets have been made for the Tamiya kits.

I have used wheel & tire sets designed for the Tamiya HMMWVs on Academy and Italeri kits. I cut the axle pins off the chassis and drill a hole the same diameter as the pins on the Tamiya rims.

HTH,
Dave S.
