T-55 Roadwheels

Modeling Subjects Armor

See how long this post lasts, but…

I’m looking for a complete set of T-55 roadwheels, any make. I guess any T-34 (late model starfish wheels) through T-62 roadwheels would work. Got a kit in a trade minus road wheels. If you replaced yours with resin ones and have the originals left over, I can use them. I have lots of Abrams, M113, other armor extras and 1/35 helo parts and weapons that I can trade for them.

Hi,

I have a Tamiya Su-85 ( the early one with the motor holes in the back) and they didn’t send the poly caps for the ends of the road wheels. Thus, unless I can find some poly caps from a Tamiya T-34 of Su-85, I am kind of screwed. Will those road wheels help?

cant you get some replacment wheels from Dragon or Tamiya?
i’m sure you could get the parts numbers of here?

Thanks for the replies so far.

bismark9,
Thanks for the offer, but I believe the Tamiya SU-85 has solid faced roadwheels. If this is the case, they will not work. T-55 had the starfish wheels with ribs and holes on them, like this.

CaptainCaveman,
Already tried that route with Tamiya. They don’t have any of the T-55 roadwheel sprues in stock and don’t expect any for 8-10 weeks, maybe. Doesn’t sound promising.

Anthony14,
I don’t want to pay $15 for a set of roadwheels when I only put out $5 for the kit. It is the old and weak Skif kit. The only redeaming quality is that it has a pretty complete, yet lacking in detail interior to go from for superdetailing. I plan on doing this up as a detroyed Iraqi tank.

I have a set of roadwheels from a Tamiya T-62 if that will work for you. Let me know.
