Merry Christmas Guys!

Does anyone have info. regarding the "standard" tire diameter of the full scale Jungmeister? I have a Bu-133B 1/4 scale, and I have scoured the 'net, but all I can find is that the wheel diameter for the full-scale is equivalent to a Goodyear 6.00x6 (wheel size). I have a few 3-view drawings, but the tires are drawn with different diameters on each one, as, perhaps, is true of the full-scale, with tire diameters varying from plane to plane. Rougher fields=bigger tires.

Thanks,
Rick

According to the original spare-part list (Ersatzteilliste), the tire size is 420 mm x150 mm, which is equivalent to 16.5"x6".

One of my favorite planes. Reality is these planes are flown now with modern wheels and tires for the most part. It is going to be down to the draftsman; if he measured and is going for a 1930's representation, or measured a modern restoration.

Thanks Red. I appreciate it. I'll go with 4.25" diameter tires for 1/4 scale.

It's become my favorite biplane, hands down, and one of my overall favorites. From what I've read about the full-scale, pilots absolutely love it, too.
