And the problem with doing 8 LAV's at the same time? You're left with 64 wheels to do.... And compared to some of the other stuff I've seen here and on other sites I am far from brilliant..

Brilliant looking vehicles. LMFAO, I don’t think the F stands for FAT!!!!!!!
Good luck with the wheels. I think most find them very tyre-some to do.....
Yes, beat that. Tommy Gunn is back, baby!!!!!

Thanks, yes it is keeping me busy... and the LAV's are loaded up but didn't want to buy resin weighed wheels, they cost more per set than the actual vehicle itself... so... hot air blower, heating up a wheel slightly.. pushing it gently onto the surface...

Great idea….I’ll have to try and remember that… not sure I could cope with all those wheels though
Be prepared to loose a couple of wheels... good thing I bought some kits second hand and got a couple of sets of trumpeteer wheels in the deal...... just have to figure out how to get them weighed...

Bert, fine job on adding weight to the wheels. And you saved yourself a small fortune on weighted resin wheels.
