Humvee wheels

I didn’t know whether to put this here or in the armor section. It probably falls under the “there are no dumb questions, just dumb people who ask questions” section. :slight_smile: I bought a Tamiya Humvee w/ tow missile a few years back and I’m just now starting. I am having a little problem with the tires. All four wheles are “rotted”. Some of the cracks are quite large and some smaller. Is there anything I can do short of ordering new wheels from Tamiya? Would super glue or future help at all?

Your best bet is to replace the vinyl tires with resin ones. While they may seem like a lot of money in the short run, they will last as long as your kit. There are several different brands available.

Never even thought about resin. Great idea.
