Ken Gilkeson Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) I like the basic layout of this kit and its proportions. tires were stuffed with tissue upper right so they fill out the rims upper left. left alone is shown lower left.

Petetrucker07 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I never thought of stuffing the tires. That's a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Great idea with the tire stuffing, revell kits would really benefit from this as they are some soft tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
