Kit Basher Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 One of my pet peeves with a lot of car models is that there are no brakes! You try to do a nice detailed chassis, and then you're stuck with toy wheels. I dug around in my parts box until I found a brake back. It had an arm attached to it: With some cutting and carving I ended up with this: I made a mold to make one copy of the kit brake, and then used that and the copy to make a two brake mold. Brake factory! Got Brakes!
Longbox55 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Neat. Many older Revell kits have a very similar drum brake backing plates, mostly the old opening everything kits.
b-body fan Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Those look good. The toy wheels are a pet peeve of mine also. Nice solution.
