As the title implies, which kits might have this type of wheel in them?  Most of the wheels that came on the cars of the Sixties, Seventies, and others had cooling slots in them, yet I have not seen the holes or indentations on any of the model kits I have looked at.  It seems strange that the model companies would have overlooked this fact.  If all else fails, I will slot the wheels myself.

Three I have built are the Revell ‘65 Chevy stepside,  The Revell ‘41 Chevy pickup (I didn’t highlight these, but they are there), and the MPC Godzilla Jeep. I’m sure most steelies have the indentations to represent them, but not actual openings.?

I do recall seeing them on a few models in the past. I'm working on an old AMT '59 El Camino and the centers are solid. Just an FYI on that subject. In the past many OEM wheels had solid wheel centers on heavy duty, station wagon, and many truck applications.  In scale it is a hit or mis deal.
