Testors' T Bucket Kit?

[Casey]

Has anyone here purchased this kit?:

I'm curious what size the rear wheels (they appear to say "U.S. Mag" on the centercap) and tires are, as they appear to be very similar to the tires used on the old MPC 1/20 McLaren Mk?? kit.

I've got it, the tires do look a lot like the ones on the McLaren, but as I remember it, they are a bit taller and narrower, and dont have sidewall detail.

Thanks. If you could get an actual wheel diameter measurement when you have a chance, it would be much appreciated.

Well I have the teh Testors kit and the tires measure out to 18mm wide x 35mm tall.

The 1/20 scale 1 ton wheels from the old MPC mid 70s dodge 4x4 fit in them nicely too.

Rodney, coul you please measure the I.D. or opening size of the tire? And a wheel diameter, too, if possible.

Beautiful work, Walt. Oh, BTW, where did you get the checkerboard?

I got it from a store that sold custom doll house kits but it's out of bussness now.

I know this isn't the tweedy pie as I have one. Also this is a metal body and the revell is plastic.
