only thing ill recast is the front clip but if hes cool with it i can do the whole transkit
-
So Bob (whoever he is) doesn't do the plating himself, but ships it out to somebody else?
all middle men basically i think LMK does it themselves
-
I prep my own resin and hit it with sealers and primers before plating never had a problems
-
I temporarily shut the store down pulled a lot of items of site i still carry mirrors and headlights i can be reached easier at Daftwheels@gmail.com than i can by pm
-
i only sold what i had in stock, people complained when it sold out fast but i was good about keeping a decent casting schedule.
-
Please be aware that this fellow, "Alex Yamill," is recasting my M/T drag radial in white resin. He's actually selling them for more than I do!
If you want the cottage industry to continue to develop unique and interesting items, please don't buy poor-quality recasts from people who steal.
I developed a system that will throw a wrench in some of those people operation
-
prices dropped on these after sorting a molding problem
-
I should have my kits next week. I am pretty sure the old Good Year GT Radials that Revell used to use will fit and are the correct tire for a factory new 1983 H/O Cutlass.
The lightning rod shifters are a pretty useful item. You can't over shift with them and they are more streetable than aftermarket ratchet shifters.
Youre better off getting tires from Chief Joseph
-
Got mine didnt hesitate in upgrading, im getting even bigger ones than these
-
no fancy paintjobs or anything of the like. wheels are my own resin casts tires are kit modded.
-
22" Skull wheels basic 6 lug, Hd 8 lug versions will be 26" with tires
-
came in today had to modify the faces to fit the rings again but it was easier with the homemade tool
faces were smoothed after this, these arent the tires im including they wont have tires till at least summer.
mustang has 19s, but the 18s dont look too bad on there
the 19" ring is nice as it could be and 1" bigger than 18" only available in deep offet but you can shim the faces forward with tape if you like
-
Parts came in today
they still need cleaning before molding but after some work i got them fitted in the center, these arent the tires im including with this set
-
Looking forward to these. A couple questions if I may; are the Fujimi/Aoshima/Tamiya tires sold separately by anyone or do you have buy a whole tire and wheel combo? Also, any idea if Revell's tuner tires might fit?
Tuner tires wont fit you can find most of the aoshima soft tires on ebay pretty cheap, the masters should be here today i should have resin sets by next week without tires ill dig in my tire stash and see if i find a decent substitute
-
18" in 24 scale
-
Tires wont be happening for a while on these i have temporary tires on my smoothie steelies but theyre import tires with a tapered sidewall.
-
Oh yeah!
thats people playing the short game
-
no problem im working on a custom set up for the front and the back.
-
Interesting how this is the only item he is selling. Can't wait to buy it off someones table in a couple of years for $5
Doubt it people said the same about the revell Cadillac and look at how that played out
-
made 15 kits today theyll be available tomorrow

Absolutely blown away that the Mustang was kitted without headlights. Intended age bracket don't mean squat- of course car guys of all ages want scale Mustangs. Versus the cost of including them? I get the whole "simple kit, easy for young builders" thing. But to ignore such a basic part, that's like asking half your customer base to ignore it. Because if I didn't know about guys like Frank casting the parts, I would say "no".
It's just marketing common sense. Two little clear parts; or the lack of, kill the look of the finished product. Where is the marketing common sense here? When I walk in that hobby store, there are literally hundreds of choices before me. The 'stang kit? "No headlights? No, thanks".its meant to be a toy basically they shouldve done the snap and the full kit at the same time
