conor1148 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 so ive been looking around trying to find some wheels to finish i funny car project and i cant seem to find a set of wheels ANYWHERE unless its in another kit for less than $20, and i hate to buy a perfectly good model just to raid the wheels. Im pretty much looking for bicycles in the front and steam rollers in the back, thats the only way i know to describe them. ive looked at every modeling site ive found but no luck thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get them at a Model swap meet or find a less expensive Moeld that has what you Need You are More than Likely going to have to Pay something for them.. Me ...I would check out Competion resins .. But then You will still have some cost in them.. http://www.compresins.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats part of the hobby. Most people spend more then that on PAINT. Let alone after market parts. Buy the kit, take what you want/need. Then toss the rest into the "PARTS" box. Or try to sell/trade the rest of the "KIT". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
