I’ve got one that my father-in-law had for his 1943 Jeep. And another for an M-14 I used to own. That’s about it.

Wow, a real honest to goodness tank officer PNG over there? That does not sound right… I had tons of manuals of all sorts until I lost my home and had to move a few years back… lots of stuff went into the dumpster.

Whosoever took them thanks again Rob and Gino for them, good sharp photos are always helpful.
Btw: Looked closer at the kit and yes the tires are the rubber type plastic indeed. I still haven’t taken the sprues out of the plastic bags and they looked like hard plastic till I flexed them.
Gamera, I’ve painted those with acrylics, then shot them with Testor’s clear flat and they seem to hold up okay. I used Floquil enamel on one set and either the paint never dried or it reacted with the soft plastic, but the result was that they were always sticky to the touch. I’ve got a couple of those kits in the stash, and will probably not use the wheels…
Thanks, I normally use a primer of ‘rubber bumper’ paint from the auto parts store for ‘rubber band’ tracks and stuff like this. So far haven’t had a problem with it.
That’s a good idea…
