In need of front wheel/tire assembly for Monogram Hemi Fiat....

[NitroMarty]

Have been gathering bits for this old 1/32 scale kit for years. Have pretty much enough stuff to (re)build a one.... Just need one more front wheel/tire assembly. It is a two piece (front and back halves) hard plastic assembly.... The same pieces can also found in the Monogram Boss Willys.

Even better.... Would not mind finding unbuilt examples of all three kits (Boss Willys, Hemi Fiat, and Ford Screamer) from this 1/32 scale series, but that's a pretty big long shot.

What's the odds, yesterday I just pulled out a few 1/32 models to show my brother that were given to me years ago by his friend. These all have rubber tires, not the two pieced tires. I'm guessing the altereds are monogram, not sure on the Triumph. I'd too would like to get ahold of the inbuilt kits..?

The altereds are indeed Monogram.... Are you sure that the tires are rubber(ish)?

I don't believe that those kits ever came with soft tires and separate wheels, so that would be a new one on me.

Pretty sure the Triumph Roadster is an old Aurora kit... The had some very nice 1/32 scale stuff back in the day.

I went back and took a closer look at the tires and you are correct. They felt rubbery, ? must be the build up of years of grime from its shelf life..
