Post by littletankman »

Although these are for the Dragon Jeep , wondering if the y would suet the Dragon Kubelwagen not perfect I know but think there the same diamentions.

And also is there two types of tyres for the Schwimwagen my Dragon one has narrow tyres but I've seen real Schwimwagens with narrow and the wider tyres ?If so any suppliers ?

Hi andy, can't see why they wouldn't work for the kubel, might have to check the rim size though, as for the schwimmwagon I haven't seen any aftermarket ones, I was looking for a set as the ones that come with the kit aren't very grippy being made of soft plastic

Hi Ice thanks mate. I have bought a Dragon Kubelwagen , RC converted but it has the DAK tyres . The Dragon Kubel and Schwimwagen tyres / rims look the same . So I could put the Schwimwagen ones onto my Kubel and look out for better ones for the Schwimwagen ?

I have a comparison of the Dragon Schwimwagen tyre and the resin (no good to us tho) improved one . I will just get it sorted to post.

Thanks Andy

Here is the Dragon 1:6 Schwimwagen tyre against a more accurate resin one . Can any one find a rubber one the same size / style ?

The Schwimwagen and Kubel wheels / tyres seem the same . So I could use my Schwimwagen ones on my Kubel and hope to find better ones for the Schwimwagen . I could possibly use the DAK rims to fit the wider tyres . I will look at them to see if there the same when it comes.
