Surprise Release! 1/25 5-slot Mags for Starsky's Torino

[Chief Joseph]

Hello all,

I have a new wheel set that I am releasing today.  It is not on my website.

FMR-076 is a set of replacement wheels for the 1/25 Revell Starsky & Hutch Torino. Sized at 15x7 for front and 15x9 for rear, these wheels will give the "Striped Tomato" the proper staggered wheel depth. Cast in gray resin, they need to be painted with Alclad or Spaztik Chrome.

Please contact me through email to order.  fireball(at)josephosborn.org

Thanks for looking,
Joseph

Joseph, it's always exciting to see new product releases from you, especially when they address a major oversight (IMO) on the original mfr's part: From what I've seen, the Revell S&H kit builds up reasonably well, but the "mags" look like stamped steel wheels, and they're all the same size.

OTOH, if these new 5-slot wheels are anything like the other 5-slots you offer, they'll not only have the correct "window" depth, they'll give modelers the option of wider rear wheels and narrower fronts, allowing them to replicate the S&H car more accurately.  This "look" also carries over to most of the street rods and street machines from back in the '60s to... who knows when.  

For those of you upgrading to Joseph's wheels, I'd recommend checking out his tires, too.  He's got some nice, wide radials that'll keep you from making the mistake of putting bias-ply tires on a mid-'70s car.

Great release, Jospeh.

 

These wheels will duplicate the S&H movie Tomato. The TV cars had something closer to 14x6 upfront, but your set will be perfect for a bunch of Muscle Classics !

Ooooo , I've been hoping you'd do some 1/25th to go along with your 1/24 scale Indy wheels !  Great news !

Sweet!  Just what I needed to make that model look right.

Mine just arrived today, Joseph, "YOU DA MAN", these rims are awesome.

Subscribed. I need a set of these for my S&H when I can get to it.
