Yes TS-92 Metallic Orange and TS-75 Champagne Gold

Doh!!! Still hadn't had all my morning coffee when I read that.

Just arrived from the Postman

I'm putting the set from the Coupster in your Midnite Cowboy box now and taking it to the PO for mailing in about two hours. Look for it separately in the box.

The tires are not as small in diameter as compared to the wheels when you bring them loser. In the box, they looked a bit smaller. The centers of the tires need careful trimming from the cloddy center tab. They are not the greatest in tread and look. I still would recommend using something else, but here is what they are

Looking at the tires in the Coupster kit, I think they were originally the same as the Vantastic. And the tires in the box are smaller than the rim and look like street tires. I think, over time, they would split off as they aged. I think it is the material used in the tires. I have a bunch of tires in my stash and can check them against the kit wheels to see what might work. If I were building any of these kits, I definitely would not use the included tires. You're showing SATCO. Are they still in business? I thought they shut down years ago. I bought quite a few aftermarket tires from them.

Are these IMSA or Challenge cars? Or?

I checked the Coupster kit, and the tires are smaller than the rims which means they would be stretched out to go over the rim. The Coupster is a parts kit and I did not get a chance to mail off the Midnite Cowboy today. I could open the box and put the tires inside with the Cowboy kit if you would like? I'll then get it mailed tomorrow.

The Coupster and the Smoothser have the same wheels, so I am assuming they are the same tires (or close)

Getting close to completion. I did not take a lot of progress pictures. Revell 1957 Ford Del Rio kit is the base with aftermarket seats from Texas 3D Customs, Engine from Revell Foose FD100 kit, wheels from AMT Meyers Manx and tires from AMT Parts Pack. More details with finish review in about a week and a half.

It is high quality paint. I use it along with HOK, Zero, Scale Finishes, Firescale, Splash and MCW depending on what I'm painting. They also carry a large variety of interior color options including sets to replicate Alcantara if you wish.

Sorry. Kit is complete but you have nothing yet of interest to trade.

Well Yamamoto does a decent 3D print. This is from Spot Model but they are around.

Are you solid on that trade item? I have on I need to check is complete that I plan to unload (if complete). But that Mustang has no interest whatsoever.

Not AMT, but this is sitting unbuilt in the stash. I think it is better than the AMT rendition, but have not spent a ton of effort looking it over.

It is the ZR-1 engine from the 90's Corvettes (C-4's) and was that era's LT-5 as opposed to the modern LT-5 that was in the C-7 Corvette. The 90's one was a DOHC engine built for Chevrolet by Mercury Marine. Only the current C8 Z06 now has a DOHC engine as opposed to all others being pushrod. 90's LT5 engine picture below.

I've got two myself. Thinking of doing one as the full custom option in the kit with, maybe, the AMT modern 56 Tbird chassis underneath

Same here. Depending on need, I go to Gravity Colors (Spain, NEVER the USA), Firescale, Zero, SPlash, Scale Finishes or MCW.

Arrived yesterday.

I agree. Tamiya Racing White is too dark/yellowy for Wimbledon White. Either need to mix or get from someone like Scale Finishes.

Option? https://www.spotmodel.com/product_info.php?products_id=57469&language=en#image1

Sorry, no luck

I just used Google, and they seem to be around in various issues. Pricing varies too.

Well, I'll check my parts stash for a "shallow" one.
