    When I bought my tractor kit, I went to the local dealer to pick up a can of Fendt Green aerosol. It's all AGCO, so if you don't have a Fendt dealer, a MF dealer can get it for you as well.

    I know home depot has generic "close" tractor paint. But im not sure if they carry this green. But good tip, thanks! I know where my JD and New Holland dealers are. Don't know of any Massey or Case near. I'm sure it's online somewhere lol.

    Correct on all, for the record at the time of development those are the Police version wheels FCA sent us the files for, and we had never asked for or got any other AWD components or drivetrain files.  Since the wheels matched the Pursuit brochure they sent with the files, I assumed it was a running change, so I never asked for the other wheels.  Just human error on both sides.

    I WISH these steelies were on the majority lol. And now I want to make the Charger awd also🤔 Steve, thanks for your insight again!

    Appreciate the update.  As I said, I'm not an expert on the subject (and this proves it!)   I know that Steve G. does look at these forums from time to time when he has a minute; maybe he will have a comment. (or not!).   Best...TIM  

    I'm wondering how the Lindbergh wheels would look on the AMT.  Different scales, but maybe visually right, how tamiya wheels are a tad larger than should be, but fill out. Again, thank for the pics:) I'm excited about the other trim level bronco also.

    Francis, these are the wheels in the kit.  While I am far from an expert on the subject, I would imagine that they are correct for this application as Mr. Goldman told me he and the team really pulled out all the stops to make this kit a top-notch effort.  I'm sure you all will update us on this if the above is wrong....TB

    We had gone over in the other charger thread about these steelies were for the AWD setup, which the build isn't. I understand some oversights can still happen with the resources at hand. Tim, you can imagine whatever you want and they'd still be incorrect. But thanks for the pics😆 I actually really like these style of steel wheels over the 5 spokes that are usually on the majority of the Chargers.

    I'll bet the street price winds up closer to $70.00, than $80.00 anyway.

    My LHS is selling them for $77. 

    It's very not good for almost $80 when you can get a very well detailed Tamiya kit for $60 or less if you try hard enough. 

    The easy together build isn't so much a detractor. But it being the usual revell quality, and for $80 lol.

    I suspect that the operation is more complicated than scanning a 1/20th scale it and then reducing it to 25th.

    Maybe someone who knows rhe issues of that process could enlighten us.

    It would be the same as scanning a 1/1 and recuding to whichever scale you desire. Bigger even if you wanted.

    For a few years, some of the Ag/tractor dealers here in central Texas have sold these for farm and ranch use. I've even seen a couple of them tagged as trucks for road use. Not sure how they managed that, but I'd love to have one. Now they're switching to those side by side ATVs.

    It could have been one of the tiger trucks. They look similar to the japanese kei trucks. And with anything 25 years> imported, anything goes for road legal.
