> David is correct , the AFV Club tires and wheels are post WW2 . Just
compare the AFV Club M35A2 or the Italeri M925 with the > Tamiya , Heller or
Italeri 2 1/2 ton trucks and you can see the difference .
You need to be careful comparing kits-to-kits as a judge of accuracy. Very
careful.
> Post WW2 tire tread are rounded whereas the WW2 tread is squred off .
TM 31-200, 20 April 1942, figure 73 (MD tire.jpg). As you can see, the
"round shoulder" or Military Desert tread design did exist during the War
years, but it was less common than the directional or Mud and Snow designs.
In any case, I believe you'd be more likely to see Truck and Bus tires on
field artillery than one of the high traction designs.
>Also note the wheel slots . WW2 had 6 , Post WW2 5 . If anyone has a "
VINTAGE " WW2 picture proving me wrong , share it >with us . I would love to
be wrong on this .
TM 31-200, 20 April 1942, figure 78 )Six hole rim.jpg). The mere existence
of six hole rims of any size during the War does not prove that they were
fitted to the carriages in question, however.
