E.T. Model 1:35 Buffalo 6x6 MPCV Weighted Road Wheels is a resin set of replacement wheels with a realistically flattened tire contact face. It is not a model of the vehicle, but an accessory for raising the detail of the chassis.
Responsibility details are not available.
This set from E.T. Model replaces the wheels from a plastic kit with resin castings. Its main benefit is the so-called weighting deformation: the lower part of the tire is cast slightly flattened, as though the weight of the vehicle were pressing on the wheel. The model then does not look as though it is hovering on its base, and it gains a convincing stance. The castings tend to have a sharper tread and more legible sidewall lettering than the standard plastic parts. The set is intended for the form matching the production batch of 2004 to 2006.
The Buffalo is an American wheeled vehicle of the MRAP category with high resistance to mines and booby-trap devices. Its characteristic feature is a V-shaped hull, which deflects the blast wave away from the crew compartment, a 6x6 configuration and a hydraulic manipulator arm on the front of the vehicle. It is used by engineer units for route clearance and for the removal of dangerous objects.
Wash the castings in lukewarm water with detergent first, so that remains of the mold release agent are removed. Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a cutter, sand the surface and protect your airways while sanding resin. They are glued with cyanoacrylate; cement for plastic will not hold on resin. Apply a base coat before painting. The most important thing is the orientation: the flattened face must point downwards and lie parallel with the base, otherwise the effect is lost. Rubber looks more convincing in a dark gray shade than in pure black, and dust on the sidewalls is adjusted with pigments.
An accessory set, not a complete kit. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
