Blast Models of France has released several detail sets targeted
for the recent Tamiya Hummer kit. This set in particular is
a provides the updated wheels and the new tires with an off-road
tread.
Each of these castings is very nicely done with detail presented
everywhere that will be visible.
This set is really one of four detail sets for the Hummer
to bring it up to contemporary OIF configuration, 1) the
armored door set, 2) the new tires
and wheels, 3) the
detailed turret ring, and 4) the equipment
external stowage set.
From what I could tell, the best (and perhaps only) way to
obtain Blast Models' products was directly from them. A visit
to their website at www.blast-models.com revealed
that Blast Models is an interesting online hobby shop that
sells a variety of products over and above their own product
line. The site is multilingual and very easy to navigate. I
ordered this set and my
order arrived via airmail a week or so later.
 If you've been looking for a way to bring your Tamiya kit
up to OIF/OEF standards, here is what you're looking for. This
set is recommended!
