The steel wheels will be a must to replace the odd plastic and rubber ones in the kit. The problem with this model is the FL10 turret which has some flaws and inaccuracies. Olivier

I noticed that Azimut have a resin wheel & turret set for the forthcoming Panhard kit too - has anyone seen them yet ?

What are the issues? Certainly looks better than the old heller kit

I noticed the weird rubber "steel" wheels in the kit photos too. Olivier, if you don't mind, I would like to hear more about the inaccuracies you mentioned regarding the turret.

In my opinion, it's good news ~ bad news. While I would love to get the Hobby Boss EBR, it's probably going to be the same deal as with my Heller VAB 6X6. They are the only ones to get the wheels/tires from. ~ Jeff

I'm currently working with a friend of mine who has a valuable knowledge of this turret on a list of the inaccuracies. The most visible are the gun sitting too low in the mantlet, the tools on the left side ill-placed (angled to be more precise), the turret bustle details partly incorrect, the ammo loading doors on the roof badly placed. To be honest, the turret is better than the Heller one but still require some work to be accurate. Olivier

The Hobbyboss "agricultural wheels" do look a bit weird unpainted with plastic and vinyl put together, but do they look so bad once primed and painted I wonder? Cheers, Christophe
