bbowser Posted February 7, 2018 Arrived today direct from the Ukraine. ICM is sure getting its moneys worth from this tool. Same white tires as in other issues, no plating on the "brass" tree. I think I'll try to build it without fenders like a proper speedster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junkman Posted February 8, 2018 That no plating bit is a tad off putting, tbh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alexis Posted February 8, 2018 Any grooves on the tires, or are they smooth donuts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbowser Posted February 9, 2018 I haven't taken them out of the wrappers yet, but they appear to have really faint grooves on the treads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eshaver Posted February 9, 2018 I'm seriously considering this kit because it's a unique piece and all my dioramas have cars that most modelers don't often do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck Kourouklis Posted February 10, 2018 I'm on it soon as I see one. Far as plating goes, not sure what's worse - bare plastic or the plating the first couple versions of this tooling got. Just like the plating in Meng's F-350, that stuff waited for the first excuse to flake off in sheets, as if it would rather have been ANYWHERE than on that plastic. The one-piece radiator shell makes a mold seam inevitable around its perimeter, and for those of us who don't tolerate that sort of thing, coming up with your own brass finish was inevitable anyway. Molotow chrome followed by the right overcoat might be the answer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
