Mike77 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Are the wheels, tanks, etc., chrome plated in the reissue or do they have the aluminum-look finish like the original version. They look chrome on the box art. Thanks in advance! Edited April 17, 2013 by Mike77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike77 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 they are Chrome plated. Thank you very much, that's great news. Now I won't have to spend as much on chrome plating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike77 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 I wonder why they left the text on the box front indicating that the wheels and tanks have the "dull matte aluminum finish." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwolf Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The 359 pete I have the tanks and wheels are chrome plated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonekrosha Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 In all of the original/old kits I have, both the KW's (red one and the metallic blue Aerodyne) had matte finished wheels, tanks, etc. and on both the Pete's (the white one and the yellow one) the pieces were chrome. I used a set of the Pete chrome wheels on my KW Areodyne I am working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike77 Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Yeah, it looks like the Pete reissue (and most likely the upcoming KW reissue) have chrome. They just neglected to remove the reference to the matte aluminum finish from the box art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
