mnwildpunk Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 go back to 1995 I just bought a 79 camaro and had stole a set of these rims off my brothers smashed 71 camaro. Now I'm looking for these rims in a kit and then what would be the best way to reproduce this look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf15 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Revell ' 41 Willys , strip the chrome and shoot a couple of light coats of Testors Aluminum Metallizer on them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 The old Monogram '66 Chevelle (the red one) also has those rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnwildpunk Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Wait I think I got the revell 66 chevelle rims but mine was cast in blue but those r not the same rimes r they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 If it's the blue Revell kit, no, it's not the same kit. That one is a 1/25 scale and has the Disk Brake/Rally wheel. The Monogram is the 1/24 scale Chevelle with the flip-nose front end, and was done in red or black. The red one has the wheels you're after, as the black on has Centerlines. Here's a pic of the kit I'm talking about (pic sourced from the DPMCC site) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Revell ' 41 Willys , strip the chrome and shoot a couple of light coats of Testors Aluminum Metallizer on them . Or you can just spray Testors Dull-Cote over the plated wheels for that aluminum look. It also works great on plated Moon tanks and front bumpers that you want to look like aluminum as well. Moon tanks are spun aluminum and never chromed anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
