I'm working on a Strombecker Scarab 'slot racer' kit I bought new in the late '50s, and converting it is a challenge! I do have the original decal sheet, however. I'd like to resin copy the Hali's as they are pretty nice -- and one of mine has a damaged rim. Question; where does a modeler find tires to work with these old kits? The rubber tires that came with mine disappeared long ago! Anyone make resin copies? Alas, I used to have 2-3 sets.
*I packed up all my original car kits (poorly) in 1968, before being drafted during VietNam, not knowing if I'd return, and the carton took some rough handling; many were broken and have taken eons to rebuild now. I gave all the armor, ships and planes to a neighbor kid, who probably blew them up with firecrackers...
I have need of the old Firestone style scale 15-inchers for several kits I'm doing, incl a dual Cad V-16 Bonneville semi-streamliner that I'm using the remains of a Monogram Indy car/gluebomb to create. Nothing looks like those old 'Stones! Help?! Wick at 75 ano -- don't wait too long!
