1/35 HEMTT Explorer

Thanks, guys. I weighed the model and it's 385gms/13.6 oz. It sure feels heavier!

Phill - just for fun I checked to see how much it would cost to send the printed wheels from LA to NZ... and it would cost as much (or more!) as the aftermarket parts that Fred linked!

One option is to find a paper model of the HEMTT or similar and copy the wheels in styrene. Or beef up the existing Italeri tires with some styrene dists and enhance or make new treads. I don't know of an easy way of enhancing the hubs.

Mate the cost of send anything from the United States of America land is absolutely mental and nobody I know has any idea why it's so mental ...on our fav website here ,,,trademe,,,there is a few dudes selling items who are based in the US and some of their quoted postage cost will make ya eyes water .
If biting the bullet is needed I'll get some from BNA over in Aus ..the link Fred put up...and go without food for a week
