Looking for some 1/25 Goodyear Eagle Slicks

[mustang1989]

Ok folks. I'm going to be starting AMT's 66 Hemi Under Glass Barracuda coming up here pretty soon. I have a set of 1/24 Goodyear Eagle slicks that I test fitted and were WAY too big scale wise. I'm looking for an Goodyear Eagle slick that's just the right dimensions to look something like this:

I already know I'm probably going to have to open up AMT's rear wheel opening a little to fit a tire in there and make it look dimensionally sound but I'm running out of options tire wise here after searching high and low on the internet . Thanks in advance for any help, Joe

Joe... I was wondering if you might be able to find and use something from a Nascar kit and just sand the tread area so it looks more like a slick..?

Thank you very much for the response Mark.  I've got an AMT Mark Martin Thunderbird that I've tried that option with. It's too small to do the trick as it doesn't fill the wheel opening like the pic above does.

Maybe you could use the tire decals from one on another tire that has no detail on the sidewalls of them Joe...?  I have had some drag or 3 in 1 kits before that had slicks with no tire lettering on the sidewalls.

Hmmmm.....now you've got me thinkin'.......Looks like a visit to HL tomorrow. Thanks Mark!!

Joe, I've got a box full of slicks. Can you give dimensions of what you're looking for?

[mustang1989]

I'll need a slick about 1.1" tall and around .6-.7" wide. Thanks Hugh!

Joe, I found a pair that are about 1.15" x .6". The wheel opening is about .7" diameter. They're hollow. They are Goodyear on one side and Firestone on the other. They are not Eagles, tho. They are not in perfect condition, but might sand up OK. They're yours if you want them.

Have you checked with Speed City Resin or Chief Joseph at Firebird?

You might get a more qualified response if you placed this in the Wanted section.
