Where to get 1/18 Scale Tank Roller Wheels and Treads

Post by C130IM » Sat Jan 24, 2009 2:15 pm

I was wondering if anyone knew where you could get the subject items?

I want to start building BMP's but the show stopper is no treads or rollers.

Thanks,

Chad

Just off of the top of my head................
you will have to make your own or cannibalize other items....I would try looking at PTE stuff for the wheels...

1/18 Tread/Wheels

That's not a bad idea.thanks for the input. Just wish there was a accessory shop that sold the treads so I could reproduce and sale the models. But, is a good start!

Here

The Panzer III tracks are 1" wide and individually linked. I am using them on my 1/18 Bradley RC conversion. Road wheels are a bit tougher to come by.

If it were me, I would shop on ebay for a deal. You never know when the right pieces you need will show up and most only pay the high prices for mint or in the box. You could pick up something relatively inexpensive this way in pretty good shape too.
