salt flat question.

[SKYY]

I am new to site and wasn't quite sure where to post this question. Hope this is correct. I am looking for the wheel covers used on Salt flat racers. The discs. I know there are kits out there 1/24 or 1/25 scale that have them. But not sure which ones. So if anyone knows offhand it would help in my search.

Thanks

Send a 4" X 9.5" self addressed stamped Envelope to get your complete list of parts. Very nice stuff from these people. Yes, they are old school but they are good.

Scroll down this site. They have several selections available. I believe the Parts By Parks are actual aluminum

Welcome to the forum, Doug. Please post specific questions in the Model Building Questions and Answers section.

As for the disc wheel covers (commonly called "Moon discs", after Moon Equipment company, who created the original 1:1 parts), I recommend Parts by Parks Moon discs. I bought a set years ago and they are excellent, so I wouldn't hesitate to buy another set. They don't have a website where you can buy direct, but you can find them on eBay, local hobby shops, or other online vendors via a Google search. I believe they come in 14", 15", and 16" diameters in 1/25 scale.

What about in kits themselves. I have a extensive collection but don't know if any of them contain the disc's. I was hoping someone else might know offhand. The parks parts are a great option. I agree.

Thanks

There are also some suitable disks in the AMT '29 Double T kit. You can strip off the chrome and paint them with Alclad aluminum. The parts by Parks disks are better though.
