T-34Rubber-Rimmed Wheels

Manufacturer: ARMO (Kit #72 503)

A relatively new release,any new T-34 wheels are a welcome addition. While not the bestwheels around, they are still better than the wheels in the ESCIand AER kits. As evidenced by the ejection pin marks on the backsides of the wheels, these are obviously copies of somemanufacturer's plastic wheels. But which ones? The fronts looklike a direct copy of the Eastern Express wheels, but the backslook like ESCI. Perhaps they are a combination of the two. As onecan see, there are also a few air bubbles which need to be fixed,but overall, the casting was very well done. Each pair of wheelsis molded together, but they are not a solid wheel, like othersof this confiiguration. Each wheel is quite distinct.

While not up to the Al.Bystandard, they are still pretty decent, and will allow themodeler to use rubber-rimmed wheels on the AER kits.
