NOBLNG Posted November 21, 2022 Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Are these sink marks or are they supposed to be there? I haven’t used them because I’ve always thought they where blemished…but the marks are pretty consistent so? Any idea what kit they might be from? They are red styrene behind the plating. Thanks, Greg. Edited November 21, 2022 by NOBLNG
Straightliner59 Posted November 21, 2022 Posted November 21, 2022 Maybe from Monogram's '57 Chevy? The sink marks are definitely sink marks. That's a drag. Those are good-looking wheels.
Joe Nunes Posted November 21, 2022 Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) The wheels definitely need to be cleaned up and the sink holes filled. I would remove all the chrome, fill, sand and clean the wheels and then refinish the wheels to suit the build you have in mind. Joe Edited November 21, 2022 by Joe Nunes Needed it 1
Mark Posted November 21, 2022 Posted November 21, 2022 Or, fix the marks on one wheel and make castings. 1
stavanzer Posted November 21, 2022 Posted November 21, 2022 I've got two older (molded in Red) Monogram '57 Chevies with those wheels, with that problem. Not Sure why that kit does that, but almost every one has those sink marks. I just use other wheels, but not everybody can get spares.
NOBLNG Posted November 22, 2022 Author Posted November 22, 2022 Thanks Guys! I have a ‘57 Chevy that was red, so that’s what they were for. They’re in the pond now!? 1
