customline Posted December 19, 2023 Posted December 19, 2023 These items were included in an open box purchase on Ebay. The fenders were one of my reasons for bidding for this kit. They will eventually find their way to a couple of '50s style hot rods I want to build. I'm just curious as to what kit(s) they may have wandered away from. I think the wheels may have been removed from a die-cast model, probably an exotic sports car. They appear to be a white metal casting and the tires seem to be bonded to the rims. The "axles" seem to have screw threads. Maybe someone out there can satisfy my curiosity ?. Thanks for your interest.
spencer1984 Posted December 19, 2023 Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) I believe those cycle fenders were from the early releases of AMT's '32 Ford 2-in-1 kits. The wheels look like Mugen MF10s, not sure what they may have been on originally. They're often paired with Hondas, I'd start my search there. Edited December 19, 2023 by spencer1984

Mark Posted December 19, 2023 Posted December 19, 2023 Fenders might be from the AMT '25 Ford T kits. I don't think the '32 fenders have the ridge down the center (in 1:1, those could have been made from cut-down Continental tire covers). Also, the '32 roadster and coupe rear fenders attach to the body and don't have those inner brace pieces.
Can-Con Posted December 19, 2023 Posted December 19, 2023 The wheels look like these, but modified. The inside of the rims looks like they were cut apart and widened or narrowed and a screw attached to the center. I had always assumed they were ment to be a BMW roadster wheel design but I couldn't find anything using this exact design wheel.
