Tyre Fenders

[DD1961]

:) Note the spelling...I'm in the UK.....looking for 1/32 rubber tyre truck tyres to use as fenders on my Graupenr Parat.
I have a feeling the ABS ones will not quite do justice to this lovely model.
Anyone have any idea where I could get some from?

Cheers

try italeri models, also there are some cheap dicast trucks with rubber tyres in 1/35th, also scalextric tyres,

DD1961-I have some black rubber tires 3 cm in diameter. I don't know the scale but if you can't find any I'll send you some. They're solid rubber with a tread molded in.

Biggest RC tractor/trailer maker I know of is Tamiya. Those critters are so real that if you can back one of them puppies up and load it you can probably do the scale vehicle. Saw a super detailed one, down to scale bolt heads and bolts. Unbelieveable. Nothing is cheap there though, and the tires are real rubber, some are on chromed steel rims... insane levels of detail.

I once saw a suggestion that the car racing guys wear out and discard tyres - got a club nearby?

harbor models has them in 1/32 scale 10 ea at 8.50 US

If you have to resort to using the ABS tires that came with the kit, take the time to spray or dip them in "tool dip". The rubber that they use to coat tool handles with.
It comes in black, and a couple of good coats might make up for the fact that the core is ABS plastic.

Thanks folks, I'll try harbor models, assuming the shipping costs aren't ridiculous.

420tee, I'll come back to you if I have no luck with Harbor, and UMI, thanks for the tool dip suggestion..I'd not thought of that!
