Weighted wheels in a combination of patterns for the early shape of the German armored car Sd.Kfz 222, with a spare added. According to the name the set is built for the model from Hobby Boss in 1:35 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
Before you settle on this set, work out which shape of the car the kit you have in mind captures. Production of the Sd.Kfz 222 armored car ran for several years and the machines changed during it: the mesh above the turret looked different, so did the exhaust, so did the mounting of spare parts and so did the tires. The designation early in the name places this set squarely with the first series.
Supplying units with tires was never entirely even. A damaged wheel was replaced with whatever the workshop had to hand, and a machine thus ran with several designs at once. The brand has worked this up as a separate variant where various tread patterns meet in the package; the result looks used without your having to reach for a single gram of pigment.
The wheels are modeled in the weighted state. The tire holds its shape, only at the bottom it widens and the wall bows slightly, exactly as a vehicle standing on the ground makes it do. The model gains a firmer stance that way and looks heavier than it in fact is.
It pays to sort the wheels by pattern first and decide which of them will go on the side the viewer will follow. The spare can then carry an entirely different design. When painting, leave the individual wheels a little apart in shade, because new and older rubber on a machine never looked the same. It is enough to hint at the difference barely perceptibly, otherwise the run looks more like a puzzle of colored parts than a shod vehicle.
