Description
This is a resin-printed mold designed specifically for casting silicone tyres for trucks in 1/87 scale. This mold allows hobbyists and model builders to produce functional, flexible tyres that closely replicate real-world performance and appearance, improve functionality and customize miniature vehicles.
The tyre kit is specifically designed to fit modern Herpa trucks, in particular it fits Herpa #52559 “Truck Steering Kit”. They can be used for this project, for example, in place or original Volvo Herpa tyres: https://www.printables.com/model/1054236-motorized-rc-truck-chassis-187-scale.
