Best laid plans…
The Model-Kasten double wheel is 4.9mm thick vs the kit double wheel which 2.8 mm thick. The 2 mm difference is glaringly obvious. The MK’s will work but I’d rather have the wheels roughly the same size.
The “smart thing” to do is to just use the kit wheels and accept having that front outside tire on the model.
Like this…
…but I want the Leningrad area Tiger look…since that’s where “218 aka waffles” would have been stationed…
Rolling the dice…
…CHOP!
Oops…the Tamiya adapter/bushing fell out.
It extends ~ 2mm on back side of wheel. Need to make sure the wheels will line up with the other wheels. That also happens to be flush with the rim.
Set with LC, will reinforce bond with CA…
…because the front has to be made flush.
After that’s done and the other wheel pair modified hopefully the flange can be added without too much hassle.
