A variant of the wheels of the Einheitsdiesel Kfz. 61 in 1:35 with a protective ring over the hub bolts. The tread corresponds to the off-road pattern of the second type from Dunlop.
Responsibility details are not available.
In photographs of the standardized six-wheeled chassis one inconspicuous difference can be observed on the wheels: some machines have a sheet-metal ring fitted over the fixing bolts, others do not. It is not an ornament. The ring protected the bolt heads from the impact of stones and from being clogged with mud, which on a vehicle intended for impassable terrain was no trifle. It is just this rendering that this set offers.
The Kfz. 61 came into being as a signals body on a chassis that from 1937 was built to unified documentation by three groups of factories at once. Drive to all six wheels, independent suspension and a robust diesel engine made it the most capable heavier truck of its time in German service. The acquisition costs, however, grew faster than the numbers built, and the program was halted after 1940 in favor of cheaper machines.
The casting need only be released from the block, the seating surface leveled and a check made that the ring seats concentrically. When painting, separate the sheet metal of the hub from the rubber; it is ideal to paint the whole wheel in the vehicle shade and only then go over the tire with a dark gray-brown, because an overlap of paint toward the rim is easier to correct than the other way round.
