Hi Paul, those wheels themselves do look a lot better than the P111 wheels.
It's just a shame they are so small.

I think id still have a go at casting some new centres for those P111 wheels..

All the best

Hey Paul,

What about getting one of these static Unimax ones and re propose the road wheels and possibly sprockets/idlers ?

Hi Paul, sorry if i rocked the boat. I was not aware of ant of the size / fit issues youve been experiencing, but now i can see that your method looks damned good and should give reliable running.

I really fancy getting one of these myself.

Cheers

Paul, thankfully mine has, its not been converted to r/c so is a blank canvas, I am toying with the idea of using the original tub rather than a panzer111, obviously it will need to have suspension fitted as well as a load of other things that will need to be sorted, biggest problem will be installing the gear boxes, already I can see it will need short shaft gearboxes with high/low motors, so lots to ponder.

That's a real bummer about the metal Bradley tracks, I was ready to pull the trigger on a pair from AFV, will now hold back.

By the way, yours looks stunning, mine is a tri colour NATO camo.

Paul,
The Camo uniforms look real enough to unbutton and swap out. Excellent work!

Paul, as always top work, is that the Bradley finally done now?

I forgot to mention I have also just acquired a 1/18 military Hummer.
