DEF Model now offers new sets of resin replacement wheels for Bedford MWD (Gecko) as well as civilian and military wheel versions of Mutt (Academy/Tamiya).
YES!! The upper A-arms have arrived! Nice to see the these components in one set.
The early-style magnesium wheels (slotted), along with appropriately-dimensioned tires look good. Everything I’ve seen previously had tires that were smaller in diameter and cross-section, lacking the kinda bulky appearance of the 7.00 x 16 tires. Very nice.
And the brake drum backing plates too! These, along with the upper A-arms, are very visible on the M151 series trucks. Looks like DEF has a winner with this set. And…I’ll probably order two sets for my unbuilt kits, maybe even additional for those already built.
