About product

Front wheels with deformation for the M3 half-track, set 2, 1:35 scale

This resin set replaces the front, that is the steered wheels of the American M3 half-track on a plastic kit in 1:35 scale. It is not a model of the vehicle but an accessory. The castings have the tire bent where it meets the road and, given that a half-track has only one wheel on each side at the front, they have an unusually large share in the final impression.

Why the front wheels are so visible on a half-track

The rear part of the vehicle carries the track, which takes the attention of the eye itself. At the front, however, a conventional steered axle remains with tires that are completely exposed in a front view, with no fender to cover them. It is exactly here that a plastic part glued from two halves shows, because the seam runs precisely across the middle of the tread and sanding it away without damaging the pattern is a nuisance. A resin casting is whole and the tread pattern stays untouched.

Tips for working and painting

Wash the castings with dish soap. On wheels the casting block tends to be on the mating surface of the hub; cut it off and level the surface on sandpaper laid on glass, so that the wheel sits square. Turn the deformed flat spot downward and line both wheels up to the same height, or the vehicle will rock at the front. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). When painting, separate the rim from the rubber, then dust the tread with pigment and add a lighter deposit on the sidewalls, where dust thrown up by the track rubs against the tire. A small detail that ties the front and the rear of the vehicle together at once.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of American hardware of the Second World War in 1:35 scale.
  • Modelers who are bothered by the seam across the middle of the tread on plastic wheels.
  • Diorama builders whose half-track stands loaded.
  • Anyone interested in a small resin accessory with a visible effect.

The accessory is supplied unpainted, as resin castings to be finished. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. According to the name these are purely the front, that is the steered wheels. Neither the track nor the return rollers are included.

Both sets offer front wheels with deformation under load. The finish of the particular set is stated on the box.

It is not. This is an accessory to a plastic kit.

Level both hub mating surfaces on sandpaper laid on glass and let the model dry on a flat board.
