I forgot it has a Polar Lights Boss 429 in it too. The TBird chassis is close to a 70s Banjo chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorLarry Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 What do you use for tires? When I compare the scale kit tires to pictures, they always look way too small relative to the real cars. I use the Monogram 1/24 tres whenever possible because they are larger but other kit tires seem too small. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry sometimes I use PPP tires but most often I use the AMT tires that came in the kit I used for the chassis. I find tgem to be slightly wider than Monogram tires but smaller in diameter. I spend lots of time reshaping wheel openings to match pictures and really concentrate on placing the tires correctly in relation to the wheel openings.

DoctorLarry Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I noticed that last night. The kit tires are shorter and wider than the Monograms. Current size, as far as I can find, is a 28 10 /15. I haven't scaled that out. but probably a little over an inch in 1/25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
