Metal wheels and stacks?

[wrenchbender]

I'm getting back into building the Big Rigs but I don't like the two piece exhaust stacks the come with the kits. Does anyone know where you can get metal ones?

Also the same applies to the plastic wheel rims. Does anyone make any metal rims? I only like to model in 1/24, 1/25 scale....

Thanks all

Ferren,

I've been using KFS stacks for several years now, they are great. The photo etch is quite thick & can be tricky to roll but once you've got the hang of it its easy. Personaly, I would'nt use anything else now. Howard also stocks (I hope he still does cus I've run out) photo etch working, yeah working !, stack rain covers.

the old MTFA( now AITM) carried metal stacks also. I have a set that has Pete muffler guards with rain caps. they do look good though.

Thanks all for your suggestions. I wrote KFS via E-mail and still haven't received a reply.

I might have to think of a way to make these things myself. I'll just have to see what happens.
