Hello,
i am currently planning my leman russ's and i really liked this conversion, but unfortunetly the modern leman russ models do not have the wheels, so i am wondering does anyone know if any replacements i could use instead? or a reliable way to find the wheels? i will be making minimum of 3 leman russes so i will need a decent amount of wheels.

Your best bet might be to buy a full airfix (other model manufacturers are available) kit. That way you'd get all the wheels you need plus the tracks to match them.

Other than that I got nothin... Automatically Appended Next Post: Alternatively you could probably make your own relatively easily with some plastic tube and a GS press mould.

If he used the wheels in the 2nd link, it's be $66 USD per tank! Ouch!

You could use a Panzer IV from this website as a base. That's pretty much is a Panzer IV made with Leman Russ parts.

Try one of these? I'm using one as a base for a wyvern conversion. The turret is going on a chimera as a storm pattern.
