  1. Yes, I already tried that aproach, but after waiting about a year for a guy to make me some copies... I quit the idea... I decided to order Jason these wheels, before sending him the letter to see what happens... on the other threand some friends had contacted him recently so...
  2. About the 412P/ 330P4 wheels, what tires did you use with it, the kit's? I need a Campagnolo set for a Jaguar XKE Lightweight Coupe (a resin body over an Heller XKE Coupe base)... the wheels are not the Jag 's model (a wide and plain rear wheels lips) but... I could try to "machine" it a little to get a a similar lip... but I would need some fujimi tires copies...
  3. Well, after these two last massages I decided to make a new order to Jack Modelling before sending him the letter...
  4. I decided to write him a letter, and I will send it tomorrow; I will post something when or if I get a feedback from him...
  5. Well, isn't it what modelling is all about? Just for curiosity, these are images of very sound 1900 Alfa Romeo, but WITH IT'S ORIGINAL PAINT!... About Jason Lupin (Mr Jack Modelling), I really do not know what to do... I am going to try again and order him two sets of Alfa Romeo wheels, to see what happens...
  6. Hello, Scudetto, here are some interesting info to join: a race chart with cars door number/ car maker/ chassis number/ car colour/ car Team/ drivers A leter to a Greek modeller about the Panamericana Alfas , and a RAL colour chart with the Brown for my chosen #251 car, that I painted with RAL8008, very similar with the colour you used on your brown car, perhaps a LECHLER catalog conversion to RAL, I don't remember... and I found a second car, already painted in a matt dark grey (a primer?) perhaps to make the "bigio" Ferro #265 car... I will contact Tom to see if he still has one update decal for me... now about the Jack Modelling Alfa Romeo steel wheels...
  7. Scudetto, it is fantastic... as this Alfa project was put aside for a few years for lack of wheels, I started looking for my images and all and, as I decided to look for more images in the net, I found your thread about the Vª Panamericana Alfa Romeos, so I will "move" to your tread about this project!... Here the issue is Jack Modelling...
  8. Scudetto, what decals did you use in the Panamericana Alfas? I have a decals set by Scale Designs, but the letterings bellow the BULL logo on the rear doors are all missing...
  9. Scudetto, this is a message in eBay IN MARCH 25: "Jason, You did not send me the Rudge tires I asked! It Is Very Difficult to deal with you now... When we started our deals, I felt I could finally relay on your capacity to solve not only my problems, but sooo many others's... Ence the idea to me, as a modeller, to share with you OUR problems and needs... I can start a thread in Model Cars Mag about this WHEELS AND TIRES subject, if you think it is important for you to better understand what it is all about..." One or two months later, after asking him about the Abarth wheels, and not getting any answer from him, he mailed me, telling me there where some difficulties with contacting, but everything was ok... from then on... the last 4 Ferrari 250 GTO tires sets I ordered him where a part of a bigger order I want/(ed) to make, was intended to see if ,as he has told me in a previous message, there was a place in the ordering page where I could add some particular feature, as a bigger width or something other, that in fact I did not find, in order to overcome our contacting difficulties; from then on... Is He alive and kicking at all?
  10. Scudetto, When this 1900 Alfa appeared in 1/24 in a beige colour, and I found that there was a decal sheet for these Vª Panamericana cars, the hours I spent to find the correct brown colour(RAL 8008) of the #251 Alfa!... even contacted the Alfa Romeo Museum... so, the Alfa Romeo steel whells Jason offers is from your special order! follow what I wrote to Pierre Rivard... So, he did make the Fiat Abarth 1000 Corsa Wheels and tires... I ordered it also to him, 2 sets, that he told me he could make for me, but I never received any message from telling me they where ready...
  11. Great model, Pierre!... Lindberg kit, wright? did you order these wheels from his catalog or are they "taylor made" for you? and the tires, are it the kit tires? this kit is not at hand, it's near a bunch that need "old" 17" wire wheels... Problem is, when I found Jason last year, and after receiving my first order form him, I thought: AFTER MANY YEARS IN DESPAIR to get decent/proper wheels for my "billions of kits", NOW, I AM IN MODELLERS PARADISE! ... Well, after a few months in this Nirvana, contacting him in the last months HAS BEEN "THE" HELL! I was in a process of interact with him that was supposed to be good not only for me but also for him and for manny modellers arround... as he was offering the possibility to "taylor" special wheels, I suggested he could add it latter in his offers list, as he did with the MIURA Lamborghini wheels... and he also made me some 13"(?) Minilites with Dunlop Racings for a Gunze Healy Sprite, and also THESE ONE OF A KIND wheels used by the GT6 Triumph Spitfires in Le Mans 24 (in 1/25, for the poor old Lindberg kit that can become a good model after some months of hard labour), they are not yet in the list... but, in particular, specially from some 250 GTO wheels I got from him, I found that, combining the rear wheels/tires with some Rudge-Withworth fitting the front Dunlops, I could solve the problems for my 250 LMs, the Monogram 275/330Ps, and also the 275 GTB-C 1966 Filipinetti Le Mans car, or the Ecurie Francorchamps Long Nose yellow Le Mans 24 car, and... Well, the problem is, as at that time, connecting/contacting with him was getting very difficult, even if the Rudge-With are a 1mm narrower than the 250 GTO front tire and I was not able to ask him to make some wider wheels for me, I made a plan and simply ordred a few sets to mix Rear 250 GTOs wheels with front Dunlop tires/Rudge wheels for each 250 LM... and the remainning front GTO wheels whith some front 250 GTO wheels do fit the Italeri 250 SWB and the California... well, if everything just worked with him, with my "findings" he would be able to add a few more new and helpful Ferrari Wheels and Tires sets to his collection, but... the last four 250 GTO tires sets I ordered him never arrived... I has been refunded by eBay, but can not know if they reached him directely in fact... I can't reach him by eBay or by his mail... nothing...
  12. Hi, does anybody now JACK MODELLING, a 3D brand by Jason Hupin, who makes several wheels such as wire wheels and tires, and some other car items?
  13. Thank you all!... in the other image, the holes seem to be open...
  14. I think the order of the two images should be inverted, as in the second, there are some suggested places where to open holes, and in the first the holes are now open...
  15. Thank you, Steve "Junk", Yes, I already new the Starfighter decals which I intend to buy if I find the wheels, or if I decide/dare to scratch ones... for now I will contact them to see if they have any clue about or where to find it... I also have(?) the possibility to ask Jason from Jack Modelling to make it, but, if in the beginning, he did work very well, he even made me some special wheels for an extra 5 Euros, nowadays it is very difficult to contact him, via eBay or via email... I can explain this particular "topic" if you (or to all modellers, of course) want me to, as I have some valuable information about wire wheels for Ferraris...
  16. Strange, you say, Bill? well, what about these:
  17. Hello, bought recently an AMT Chaparral (2) 1/24 kit, and found that it is not based in the COX body, the only one I knew about... In fact I do have an HRM Chaparral 2 kit (based on the Cox body); and, I also found that this AMT body is perfect to be used as a base for a special car, the Nassau 1964 GOLD STAR version I would like very much to have but, as to make it from the HRM/COX body would need some heavy modifications, I did put the idea in the "freezer"... in that time I remember to see somewhere some wheels that would fit but, as then I did not know about the Starfighter decals for it, I did forget these wheels "location"... Is there anybody who could help me with this problem?
  18. Thank you very much, Todd! I am going to get as much images as I can to send to the man...
  19. Is there anybody making the pale blue #76 Mancuso Greenwood Corvette - Watkins Glen 1977 decals in 1/24 scale? PLEASE?
  20. Well, he did! sorry to answer only no... Thank you very much!
  21. Did somebody try to build this kit (without building instructions, this brand never offers a building instruction plan)?
  22. Hi, Eric, I'm afraid that your Lindberg MGA is in 1/32 scale... to my knowledge, Lindberg never did this MGA in 1/24 scale, and, as far as I know, MGA appeared in 1/24 only twice: by STROMBECKER in 1959/60 as a slotcar, and, in recent years, as a diecast kit, by Wills Finecast/ later Southeastern Finecast, but both has desapeared a few years ago... another company bought Southeastern, but they told me that a new mould is needed so...
  23. Hi, Gary, this https://www.ebay.com/itm/364205032224 place, from Bill Allphin, Mr. gtx6970, did have a '50 resin body, and I am pleased to announce that it is now "on the move"!... Although I had some difficulties to find the wheels and correct "dishes" for my '55, the Cunningham car did run on standard steel wheels, without dishes , and I believe I have one set somewhere, and the tub will be easy to make by the '55 model, as they are probably identical... let's see what I can do when I get the body... thank you very much!
  24. "Did anybody ever tried to convert a Modelhaus1955 Cadillac Coupe DeVille to get the Le Mans 1950 , series 61, "Le Petit Pataud"?
  25. Hi Gary, do you know any one who had converted the Modelhaus 1955 Coupe Deville to become this 1950 Series 61 Le Mans "Petit Pat Hi Gary, do you know anyone who have converted the Modelhaus 1955 Coupe DeVille (I do have one) to become the Le Mans 1950 "Le Petit Pataud"?
