Hello
I disassemble my M2 to repaint it.And when I turned the inside dia. of tires,I made them a tight fit to the road wheels.But there too hard to get off,and there's no room for glue.So my question is what is a good fit,or how tight should they be? I have to glue them in place,because they will slip off if you don't.Thanks guys from Dan.
2025 ARMORTEK KIT SURVEY
Over the last few years we have brought out a whole series of kits as a direct result of your feedback - kits like the Pershing, JagdPanther, Hetzer, Leopard 2A4, and more recently the Sd Kfz 7, 88mm Flak 36 and the upcoming Challenger 2.
So, in keeping with what has become and annual tradition, here is your opportunity to once again influence our future production plans.
We have added in some "guide pricing" next to the names of the models. This is a rough estimate of the price at the current rates.
Thanks in advance for your input and we look forward to the results.

Hello Dan
The tyres are supposed to be a tight fit so there is no need to glue them on. How you fit the tyres is to heat them up in a pan of hot water for 10 mins or so they will then be soft enough to fit over the rims. Hope this helps.

Hi Guys,Yes I was talking about the 16 bogie wheels I called them road wheels.There made from nylon stock.All of them had to be turned on a lathe.I made them fit tight,But some came off 1/8" with the vehicle running.
And that is why they must be glued on.I will have to play with the fit of these,when I get to this part.To clear this up there are 8 bogies wheels,4 per side,with two tires per wheel. Thanks from Dan
