I am building a quad gun tractor from scratch at 1:25 scale. Does anybody know where I can obtain tyres with the correct tread pattern. I have found sites selling the correct scale tyres but with modern treads.
Thanks, Geoff

Welcome to the forum @Backyard-engineer. Glad you’re here. That’s an interesting subject for a scratch-built model. Can you post a photo of the inspiration subject? It may help give the forum readers a better idea of what you’re up against on this project. Someone is sure to have some thoughts on this.

I bought theTamiya 1:35 scale model and am basing it on that. Scaling up from that as I couldn"t find any drawings. Sorry can’t work out how to load photos.

Your best bet is 3D printed wheels. They can be enlarged or reduced to any scale before printing.
There are already wheels and other parts available for it.

To upload pics, just drag and drop (or copy and paste) them into your draft post.

Here is a link to a set of 1/35, perhaps they could be scaled up.
