Burnt out Panther road wheels


Manufacturer: The Tank Workshop

Scale:  1/35

Material: Resin

Item number: TWS 1033




Introduction

Although it's not a new product from Tiger models, it is worth a review for the fact that it is for a knocked out tank. Since this is not a new item I will not go into too much detail and let the photos of the product speak for themselves.

The kit comes with a full set of burnt out road wheels for a Panther and comes in a light gray resin. The wheels are cast four per casting block and showed no flaws such as air bubble holes. The details such as the bolt heads look great but there is some flash around the perimeter of the wheels that do require removal.








Conclusion

The wheels look great with the exception of the rims where the rubber would be mounted. I found that they were too thick and could have been make thinner, but this should be no problem to fix with a file.

The resin wheels took primer and paint very well using the normal model paints. This set is worth having if your planning on doing a burnt out Panther, which I will be doing several in the near future. The following photo shows one of the resin wheels painted for this review.





I would love to see other wheel sets for different tanks from this manufacturer as it would be much easier than grinding off plastic to get a burnt wheel. For less than $20 the kit is well worth it.
