Kingsman Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Yet another - probably very decent - alternative to expensive Far East products. Zvezda have really raised their game in the past few years, since the T-90. Hopefully no vinyl tyres ................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsman Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I think it's a question of tooling cost, and if they've got as far as releasing info about the kit then the tooling is already done. To represent the tread pattern in injection plastic would require a multi-slice approach and perhaps half a dozen parts per wheel, much as MiniArt do with the tyres on their WW2 Russian trucks, but could include sagging/bulging. Vinyl can be done on a single tool but never shows sagging/bulging. Someone like Panzer Art or Djiti's will do after-market resin, but at probably 50-80% of the cost of the kit itself. We shall see what they come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Hmm, true dat. Still, making a note for next time might aid future releases. Or not. <shrug> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 IBG seem to be able to manage injection tyres on the 1.35 Rossomak kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
