Well, most of you have already read my stance on a fellow members Mk.IV build but I was actually looking because I have issues. The first was I now know I got hosed by PanzerArt. I bought a set of the resin wheels back when I bought the kit and did not realize until a few days ago, they sent me a set of Bedford wheels with Humber inserts. Was also trying to ascertain if the drivers armored visor was multi positionable or only open and closed?

Re: Bronco Humber Mk.IV and issues
Vinnie built this back on the old site, I can't remember him having any issues beyond needing a good plan when it came to painting. Not much help I know.

No worries! The kit wheels don't look too bad and I can always use them and the average person would not even notice the difference.

Re: Bronco Humber Mk.IV and issues
Hi Mark - those wheels look very similar to some I've just got for the Otter. Try emailing Panzerart - they are good guys - they've come back to me with info previously.
I suspect that they'll sort you out.
I'm a little jealous as I was eyeing the Humber up and might still join you
I'm pleased it's not just me that plans months in advance
Looking forward
Rob

Re: Bronco Humber Mk.IV and issues
Rob,
Thanks for that. I know I did not order them from PanzerArt so I always worry about..."We need a receipt". I can email them and see what pans out. You should do the Humber. It looks like a really nice kit. As previously stated, mine will not have any interior...except what I think it needs for assembly. Some of the interior parts seem to be needed to attach exterior parts. First notice are the front shocks. Mine will be finished as either a IDF decorated parade vehicle (at least 4 blue Star of Davids) or a combat vehicle so I can use the gorgeous BlackDog stowage set and add a AA MG34!

Re: Bronco Humber Mk.IV and issues
Yup - I like the sound of the MG34 - always cool to see those on IDF jeeps. An IDF Humber is novel
Which leaves me to do the Wessex Divison colours
I'll check out he Black Dog set

*cough* *cough*
There may be another on the block
The tyre profiles in the kit are correct, so why change them? unless the IDF use a different profile????

Re: Bronco Humber Mk.IV and issues
Vlad,
I am almost positive I bought the Kit, tires and stowage at a show. I had no idea that the tires were plastic. I assumed they were rubber. The kit tires look fine and as long as they assemble well, I will probably end up using them. Many of the IDF vehicles in the earlier years had different tires on them. I always like mixing them up as it is visually pleasing. Not a lot of choices for the Humber kit though.
