Ukraine company
Posted by Armyguy on Friday, March 13, 2015 10:29 PM

What can any one tell me about LTD Your Scale. I saw an article about resin wheels for the 2 1/2 ton GMC that would fit Tamiya, Italeri and Heller kits.

I read the article on internet modeler web site . It just mentioned  they were in Ukraine no other info , link , nothing. They looked pretty good and the fact that they would fit any of the 2 1/2 ton kits is nice.

Thanks Dave M

I found out that the only factory service station for my airbrush compressor was in Iran.  I passed on that, and I think you should also avoid the company in Ukraine, just out of an abundance of caution.

Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

Internet Modeler:

"When I first heard about this new company out of the Ukraine, I naturally wondered what they had to offer. Having worked with a multitude of amazing products form the Ukraine, I expected the quality to be top notch. And I was not disappointed. LTD "Yourscale" has kicked off their new line of quality resin castings with a set of replacmeent wheels for US WWII trucks. The set features fine casting, very little flash, no pour plugs, and separately molded hubs. What is an even nicer touch, is that the tires are branded as both Firestone and Goodyear. This allows for a lot more realism as most vehicles ended up with tired from both companies. The wheels were great to work with and when compared to an old set of Italeri wheels, the detail speaks for itself.

LTD "Yourscale" does include a list of models with which the resin wheels will work. Those models are: ICM Studebaker US6, Italeri Leand-Lease US Truck with Zis-3, Tamiya US 2 1/2 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck, and Heller GMC Pompier and GMC CCKW 353.

I highly recommend LTD "Yourscale"'s new resin wheels, and I cannot wait to see what they come out with next. My thanks to LTD "Yourscale" for providing a fine review sample. Happy Modeling!"

Armorama:

"Your Scale Model Kits from Ukraine has recently begun producing a few resin replacement parts for modelers. Their first release is a set of resin non-directional tread wheels for U.S., and Lend Lease, 2 1/2 ton trucks.

The replacement wheels, size 7.5-20, come packaged in a small 6 x 3.5 inch zip lock bag. The set consists of 12 wheels, so enough for the spare and an extra just in case. You also get six hubs for your wheels, four for the dual rear axle and a pair for the front. The set is a bit of an oddity in that the 12 tires are not the same manufacturer; you get six Goodyear and six Firestone, non-directional tread tires in the bag. With six of each you can place all of one or the other on the outside station for a uniform look. If you would like a more lived in look you can mix and match, I don’t think anyone much cared about consistency of manufacturer while in the field.

The wheels all have a bit of flash to remove as well as the normal clean-up at the mold seam and the pour plugs. Putting the wheels together with the hubs requires a bit of work to get a nice square join, the bolt detail needs to be removed from the inside, outside or both, depending on which wheel station you are working on. Removing the bolts from the inner face is a bit tricky to get a nice even surface for your CA glue to work with. Also, the hubs require some drilling out in order to fit on to the axle stub. You can use these wheels for lots of different kits so make sure you know what you need before you start drilling. "

Lots of AM stuff is coming out of Ukraine, and I've had no problems so far.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
