bobpringle Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hi Just started to build the M4A3 Sherman 1/35 from Tamiya. Confused by the wheels. They have spokes on one side but smooth(no spokes) on the other side. When assembled the spokes are on the inside. What is the point of spokes if no one sees them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfingers Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Aye up, Have you got them on the right way round? Tamiya sherman wheels only tend to be detailed on the outer face and blank on the inside. Have a look at the M3/M4 group build. Lots of Tamiya Sherman shenanigans going on there that may help Regards, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobpringle Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hi Steve Pretty sure they are the right way round. Take a look at this pic. That is what they look like on my model. The spoked side is on the inside. http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/35250sherman75/sherman75_4.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobpringle Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Think I have worked it out thanks. Two options are given. You can choose to have smooth or spoked side visible. Must have been a variant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hello @bobpringle .. I would recommend just like fatfingers suggested you go to the sherman group build section. There is a very nice section all for Reference material. Its free to use and you dont have to join the group build. Though id suggest you do its fun and you would be surprised at how much more info is available just from chatting while youre building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried typing group build in search. Doesnt come up with anything. Go to home page. Click on 'Browse' on the bar near the top and then click on 'Forums'. Scroll down the forums page until you get to the 'Modelling' forum. There you'll see 'Group Builds' and the sub-section 'Current Group Builds'. Click on that and that'll list all the builds going on at this moment. Scroll down to 'M3/M4 medium tank STGB'. You'll find a lot of Shermans and variants there. Rearguards, Badder. PS. Sorry for the laugh I gave earlier. I thought you were messing about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
