Cosworth Vega

[Straightliner59]

I'm not, nor, have I ever been a replica stock builder. However, one car I have always wanted to do, is a Cosworth Vega. I've always loved those little H-bodies, and that one has always appealed enough to me, to want to build one. I'm looking for ideas from other scratchbuilders as to how you would go about creating this wheel. Suggestions as to something to start with?

First thing that comes to mind is a Minilite. Right number of spokes of similar design, and one of the Japanese wheel set manufacturer makes a 14" version if I remember correctly (not called Minilite though).

Cut the wheel in half just behind the spokes, glue on a flat disc of styrene, and file the holes between the spokes. Then glue the rear half of the wheel back on.

Maybe.

Like I said, just a first thought...

EDIT: Fujimi Panasport 14"     https://www.bnamodelworld.com/model-cars-motorcycles-wheels-tyres-fujimi-models-fj-19358?zenid=aa06f95c4bf33755108b21772496fa8b

EDIT 2: Aoshima 8-spoke Watanabe 17" might work as a start too...

Be sure to model the rust eating through the body.
