Sam Cates Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Anyone know of a good caster offering these or similar tires in 1/25-1/24? I am looking for a set or two for my '55 panel truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zz383mero Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Let me know if you find anything. I need a set also. There is not much out there for off-road custom builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffs396 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Al @ Ma's resin makes quite a few different off-road tires, but none exactly like those pictured.

Erik Smith Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Sam - what size of military type tire are you looking for? I have a set from Italeri's Toyota Landcruiser that I won't be using. They are close to stock size (1/24), I would guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 You might also want to check with Casey, he was looking into casting some tires like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnaind Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks Jeff! I don't have anything like the first tire but is the second one the same as the Power wagon or Jeep tire? I'm making the wheels & tires from the Italeri Mil jeep now & they are a slightly smaller version of the PW tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zz383mero Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) I found these on B-N-L Resins. http://b-n-lresins.com/photo3_8.html Edited February 7, 2013 by zz383mero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 You might see if your local hobbie shop has the reissue of the WW II Jeep from MPC. I think that it's from Round 2. The tires look very much like the pictures of the four 1:1 tires in your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad rendition of them, just not correct military tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
