Brett Barrow Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Looks great! You just can't go wrong with Plum Crazy on this car. I love the Day-Two look. Are those the Revell 32 Ford five-spoke Americans? The spokes look smoothed out instead of textured like they usually are. Maybe it's just the photo, but I could really use some smooth ones for an Astro Supreme stand-in. If they came out of a different kit I'll track some down.
Kit Basher Posted March 20, 2017 Author Posted March 20, 2017 \. Are those the Revell 32 Ford five-spoke Americans?Thanks, Brett! I think the wheels are from the AMT 1960 Ford Starliner Custom. They are not in the '60 Starliner stock kit. I have used those Revell wheels, and I think they are just as good or better. I think both brands have smooth spokes, the center caps are different. HTH.

HTH.Yep, those Starliner wheels are the best Supremes in scale (although I think AMT claimed they were Americans). The Round2-era 2 in 1 boxings have them, too. Too bad the 60 Ford does nothing for me or I'd buy a bunch to get those wheels.

The original builder painted the centers with lime green craft paint, to match the body. Fortunately, lacquer thinner took off the paint without hurting the chrome. I wouldn't mind having a few more sets myself.
