Kit Basher Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 One of my pet peeves with a lot of car models is that there are no brakes! You try to do a nice detailed chassis, and then you're stuck with toy wheels. I dug around in my parts box until I found a brake back. It had an arm attached to it: With some cutting and carving I ended up with this: I made a mold to make one copy of the kit brake, and then used that and the copy to make a two brake mold. Brake factory! Got Brakes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Neat. Many older Revell kits have a very similar drum brake backing plates, mostly the old opening everything kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-body fan Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Those look good. The toy wheels are a pet peeve of mine also. Nice solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
