A bit of a mixed bag from MIG, in terms of genre and scale... but look out for the other release!

One question here regarding Humvee wheels... how can you make different compositions with 6 wheels (4 right and 2 left)?

Mario.

The difference in the left and right tires are in the tread if I remember and the orientation of the tread, not in how they are attached to the vehicle. You could use a tire meant for the right side on the left.

Either way, this is awesome. I just finished to OIF HMMWVs and am working on an M997 Ambulance, so a M114 might not be such a bad idea in the future! And with Concords HMMWV book released, I am very happy now.

These are really some poor news! I mean, Mig could send out better than this! What about something allied for a change- but something that's not Soviet, I mean!
Cheers and happy modelling!

You are absolutely correct. Can't count the number of time we had to throw a spare on and gave less than a damn about tread orientation. "Q" Even if we only had a bias ply tire, it went on to get us out of the situation until we could fix it properly.

Ijust got the new M1114 Hummer kit, and those tires.
Excellent castings throughout both. The resin stubs on the tires are thick, but the tires look weighted when you remove them which is nice. The rear hatch on the conversion kit is the variant with tie down points, and not the dual hinge model.
I HIGHLY recommend the new mini book HMMVW's in Iraq by Concord. Every concievable variant of Hummers in use in Iraq is mentioned, and all color pics, with an excellent 1:35 line drawing of the M1114
from all angles in a 2 page fold out.

As far as the mystery on the tires, on all pics I researched, they are on vehicles every which way, so technically, you can't go wrong.
