smellyfatdude Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Anyone know if these were ever kitted, or resin cast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Didn't some of the original MPC pickups have a similar wheelcover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellyfatdude Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 That most certainly is them. I found a video on gluetube, showing somebody unpacking the contents of the above kit. When he pulls out the chrome tree, yup there they are. I doubt I'd find any originals, but maybe someone has resin cast some. I'll definitely be keeping my eyes out. Thanks for the help!

john sharisky Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Some of the MPC 1970's Dodge van kits included these covers. Sets of four do show up on eBay every once in a while. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 None of the van kits had a wheel cover like those in the '73-'75 pickups. The one in the earlier van kits resembled an earlier full size car wheel cover, more like a '69 or '70 piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Thank You. Now, I know what those are! Odd that they should live on in a semi-forgotten trailer kit, of all places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
