Hi there Brian. I see that you are in Stockholm. Even better. I'm building a M1075 transport truck.

Can't you just change the tires you have?? I believe Rob has pics of HEMTT and all of its beauty there... A thn slice of Milliputt goes a long way...

My experience with scratchbulding tires is not all that. But I could test it out. But I still would like to know where I can get after market tires, especially here in Sweden. Or am I forced to look outside?
BTW, where can I find this mulliput, here in Sweden, everyone keeps talking about?

Milliputt can be bought in any of the stores in Stockholm. Wentzel's, Tennsoldaten, Rebell.com (Sollentuna), Harambee Hobby. Otherwise I know other stores carry it too, Sljöd Detaljer (Skara) och Panduro. Frågan är inte om Hobbex har det också...
Whoops, slipped into Swedish. Tires are not really an item easily available, from my experience. I know of a company in the UK that all kinds of tires and such for trucks, but that was for 1/25 scale.
But for general aftermarket stuff Wentzels and Rebell.com are your best bet, but the offering is limited at best. The only thing left is import...

Okay thanks. Could you please give me some gooe reliable places on the net I can find these tires from?

In all honesty I don't know of any places right off hand for 1/35 scale. I'll see what I have, but I'll also open it up for the general public of Armorama to answer...

The Pro Arts tires are very good. You can also get two types of the tires and wheel from Tank Workshop. They are the Good Year and the Michelin tires

Don't know of anyone who makes the M1075 specific tires/wheels. M1075 varients have a cover over the wheel hub, standard M977 HEMMTs do not. All the above mentioned tires are for an M977 type HEMMT. You can easily convert them with some Mili-put or sheet styrene though.
M977 HEMMT
M1075 PLS
Good luck.

M1075 PLS

Thanks guys. I'll try those websites. I'll probably have to order them from aboard but I guess they'll be worth it.

I'm not sure but the tires and wheel hubs on the M1075 look more like the M1070 HET wheels.
Maybe you can request some from Accurate Armour from their M1070 HET kit.
Gr,
Marcel
Thanks. Worth a try
