I did not knew that they also fit the AZRM wheels which are looking great! Nice to see they arrived and that it took not weeks to get them shipped.
Thank you for giving notice and posting a picture with these splendid rims. :)

Edit: Just one hint, the tires are mounted the wrong way, the inside is now outside which is wrong, the pattern has to be turned 180° degree ;)

As i have been asked a several times if these tires are soft like Tamiya ones, i have to make clear that these tires are NOT soft rubber like tamiya kit parts, there was a reason why we did not so as i explained further.
The Kit parts got flat spots over the time by the weight of the model, that was an issue i wanted to be fixed by doing it that way.
There is no need to keep them soft, especially while these models are not a toy, i guess there is no one around which is "playing" with such model. :lol:
To explain a bit further, the idea was to bring a solution which does not have such issues, and with the oppertunity to paint them in a matching colour, your able to get the right look finaly. There are rubber like paints around like Zero paints, allclad and Tamiya for example, you won`t see any difference to a rubber like tire finaly.
Hope this makes it a bit more clear to understand what´s the stage ;)

Thank you mate for feedback, nice to see you like the tires! :)
So far the feedback has been very positiv in any way, still happy that other modelers like the stuff and enjoy the oppertunity to get a replacement or even an upgrade to their models.
Hope my oversea buddies get their packages now too, on one i got a notice that it arrived, i feared a bit that the delievering time will expand caused by Covid Hype, but it looks like that there is no such heavy problem like they told me in post office.
Hopefully it stays that way, actually they are running mad about it again like i awaited it to be....

Has anyone in the USA received their order yet? I'm not panicking or complaining, just curious.

Yes some has arrived but there is something strange at you, Tracking says it is delievered on 13th, means 6 days ago at 13.34 a clock, but at 13.37 it is marked as could not be delievered. That`s realy strange and i will check that, will send you also the tracking code, maybe USPS can clear what`s up and what happened.
