mikemodeler Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Most of the tires offered by American Satco are now offered by other casters- Scenes Unlimited & Modelhaus Tires primarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Janssens Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 19 hours ago, Casey said: Did American SATCO import Aoshima (an other kits from Japanese manufacturers?) kit, open them, insert their own tires, then "seal" them back up with their own sticker, like so? Yes and no.... The tires were Aoshima's to begin with, but some of the kits had LHD resin dashes included, the dashed btw were scratch-build by a modeler who posts here, dunno who did the casting. In short A.S. had their own tires tooled and bought in bulk Aoshima tires to be packaged and sold under their own label.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gui_tarzan Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 We met Rodger back in the 90s, very nice guy! We went to the Mall of America on vacation and stopped at his shop on the way back home. At the time he was the town postmaster too and there were a few dozen mailboxes in the old school building where his shop was. I wish I had taken pictures now.
