About product

Chieftain: road wheels with torn rubber in 1:35

Replacement road wheels for a model of the British battle tank Chieftain, modeled with damaged tires. Suitable for vehicles that are to look hit, worn or out of service for repair in a scene.

A successor with a low silhouette

The Chieftain replaced the older type in the British army at the turn of the 1960s and brought two things by which it wrote itself into the history of armored equipment. The first was a massive 120 mm rifled barrel, the most powerful armament of a production Western tank of its day. The second was the reclining driver's seat: in the combat position while driving he lay almost on his back, which let the designers set the nose unusually low. The weak point remained the engine, which never managed to give the machine enough power. Besides British units, Middle Eastern armies operated it in numbers.

Working with the parts

First plan out which wheels will be damaged and which will stay whole; randomness works better than regular alternation. Pick the bare metal exposed where the rubber has torn away out in a dark metal tone and add a hint of corrosion. Then unify the surroundings with a thin layer of dust.

Suitable above all for

  • those interested in British tanks of the Cold War
  • modelers putting together scenes after a combat engagement
  • builders who like working with the detail of wear
  • those who find the factory wheels out of the box dull

The wheels are supplied raw, ready for cleaning and spraying.

FAQ

It carried a 120 mm rifled gun and, thanks to the reclining driver's seat, it had a very low nose, which made it harder to hit.

Yes, the same manufacturer also makes ordinary road wheels without damage. The two sets can be alternated on one vehicle.

Keep the rubber itself in a dark gray tone and pick the exposed metal out in a dark metal shade with a hint of corrosion.
