Mr Dedo Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Built the recently retooled Barracuda and found that the AMT Polyglas GT tires fit the Revell wheels. Flawlessly molded and crisply lettered these tires are really worth the investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Sikora II Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) AMT PP013, Muscle Car "Red Line" Tires, due in March 2015. Four F60-15 and four L60-15: Man am I happy to see that they are including both sizes. Have a project in mind that needs big n' little redlines, so will definitely get this set.

fseva Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I received this Parts Pack and I'm very disappointed - compared to the quality of the blue line slicks, these are very poorly done - the lettering is so light, it looks like they were running out of ink when they were printed!

chunkypeanutbutter Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I bought a set, and they looked right as rain. Maybe you should inquire to Round2 Qual. Control... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fseva Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I bought a set, and they looked right as rain. Maybe you should inquire to Round2 Qual. Control... Did the printing look a bright white, or a faded light gray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those the jumbo slicks - my question was about the "small" slicks - but that got lost in the moderator's shuffling of my question into a big bin of generalized thoughts - sure wish he wouldn't do that!

fseva Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) I checked with my retailer, and he said that his entire inventory of the "small" slicks looks that way. He is going to check with his supplier and get back to me... Edited June 1, 2015 by fseva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are supposed to look like they do, just like the stenciled lettering on the 1-1 tires (did you try looking them up on the web?)... why would your local retailer know what they're "supposed" to look like? Where's a picture of the tires you *think* are wrong? Edited June 1, 2015 by mike 51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried that! Just because there are 100s of messages on a general topic does NOT mean that my answer is buried somewhere in the mess, and I'll be darned if I'll spend HOURS and HOURS trying to FIND an answer to a specific question when a simple NEW question and answer would do the same for me and you would be without work! I have never seen a forum that has been so MICRO-MANAGED as yours! You waste my time constantly taking questions from one area and posting them in an entirely different area, just because someone started a thread years ago, and most of it is a waste of time! I have complained to Gregg about your heavy handed editting, and I will complain again! You are making this forum a MOCKERY! By the way, if you didn't want this to be posted in a public area, you SHOULD have sent me an email! You know - if you make things any more hostile and wasteful of my time, I'll be happy to have you close down my account! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepower Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) You do know that the lettering on the 1:1 tires weren't a bright white unless someone redid them with a tire stick to make them look that way, and modelers have been trying to get the lettering right for years, I know you don't want to look for it (I don't blame you) but there are even threads about how to achieve this in the tips forums. Did your Mama ever tell you that you'll get more accomplished with humility the antagonism? With all the people on the forums that don't bring their problems with the moderators to a public place, I'm sure you'll not be missed by them if you decide to leave. I just hope that you were having a bad day and it was just easy to vent on here rather than to those who made your day a wreck, and I don't blame you, I've done the same thing on other forums but I did get back on after gathering my wits and apologized to the person I attacked, and to those that had to see my bad side. Enjoying our hobby is the key, after all is said and done they're still just toys, regardless of what we spend on them.

jbwelda Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 he has got a point, actually, a really good point. what in the heck did his post have to do with M&H racemaster slicks other than they happen to be in a so called "parts pack"? does that mean that any mention of a "parts pack" should end up in this thread? that makes no sense whatsoever. and whoever is moving stuff around needs to sit back and pick his nose for awhile as some more gainful employment and leave peoples posts where they put them unless there is some COMPELLING reason to do otherwise. in this case his question lost all context due to being moved to this thread. really really stupid move and I would be bugged too. plus you ever try finding something less than obvious with your "seach function"? it sucks and so do the results, 9 out of 10 times. but its probably just internet exploder that is the problem. jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixx Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'm using a set on a current build and they look pretty acceptable to me. OK Wayne, whatcha building here????? Coz it looks pretty freekin cool so far!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fseva Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) They were a lightly smoky white lettering. Well, that's exactly what mine look like, too! I suppose the difference between these and the "jumbos" is simply a matter of size - the larger lettering just looks brighter. Oh well, I can always go back to the Blue Streak slicks. Thanks for the info! Edited June 3, 2015 by fseva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 OK Wayne, whatcha building here????? Coz it looks pretty freekin cool so far!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) Not Wayne, but that looks like a very excellent buildup of the JoHan 1970 Gene Show Challenger Funny Car kit, (later sold as the "Ram Rod" after the Snow licensing agreement ran out). It's an excellent kit, but was last available new some 25 years or so ago....TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69NovaYenko Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I have purchased several sets of AMT`s pad printed "Goodyear Polygls GT" F60x15 and have been very please with them. I have also seen the Goodyear "Blue Streak Dragway Special" 9.00x15 Drag Slicks at my LHS. I have not been able to catch up with a set of the AMT PP013, Muscle Car "Red Line" Tires, which are due due March 2015, so far but I hope they are a s nice as the Goodyear Ployglas tire set. Will there be a more "Treaded STREET" tires (not drag strip slicks) coming? To compliment the Muscle Car "Red Line" tires will there be a Muscle Car "Gold Line" tire set and a Muscle Car "Blue Line" tire set?

The redlines are out but scarce on the ground! They are the Polyglas tires, just with red lines. I've been bugging them to do white letter Firestone Wide Ovals for a while....
