Chief Joseph Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) Hello all, Thanks to everyone who supported me with the 1/24 tires that I've offered for the past couple of years. Now I've made some 1/25 scale tires to specifically address the needs of those slightly smaller model cars: First is item FMR-030, a set of two BFG Drag Radials in 325/50-15 size: I also have two sizes of BFG Radial TA's in 225/60-15 and 275/60-15, each sold in sets of two. I made these tires to represent the "street machine" look on classic musclecar kits such as the new Revell 'Cuda. I am producing these Radial TA's in both hard white resin and flexible black rubber. The hard white resin version can be finished by painting the tire black and then sanding the paint from the raised letters, as in this photo: Ordering information is on my website, http://www.fireballmodels.info. Thanks for looking! Edited October 2, 2014 by Chief Joseph
mikemodeler Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 As a previous customer of Chief Joseph, I can say his product and service is outstanding and do not hesitate to purchase from him. I plan on getting an order together for several of his tires, again!
ferrarijoe Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 I am was trying to get ordering info, but your website isn't working. Where can I get a set of these?

futurattraction Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 I have been working with Joseph on several projects and he is an A-1 person, first of all, and second, he is very detail-oriented and meticulous in his execution, so I would say these tires will be a great addition to his line of products.
Chief Joseph Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 Now for the boring part of aftermarket decision-making: should this gigantic steamroller tire be made available in 1/24 scale or 1/25 scale? How about splitting the difference and making it in 1/24.5 scale? How about both 1/24 AND 1/25?
Alan Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Split the diff or both, LOVE IT!!!! Actually there are more wheels in 1/25th ....... Joseph please put me down for eight pairs !!! Thanks Alan Edited August 20, 2014 by Alan

Young iron Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 I'm also into the Mickey Thompson ! Especially with an incorrect-wheels 1976 Starsky Torino kitted !
Chief Joseph Posted October 2, 2014 Author Posted October 2, 2014 The N50 is getting a little closer to reality! 3D-printed masters: 1/25 on the left and 1/24 on the right.
John Pol Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 wow those are real nice brings back memorys for sure
Mike Chernecki Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Nice! I want some. We had those on our 1969 Nova. Will there be two different sets in each scale "50" & "S/S"? Or will different sidewall be printed on each side? Edited October 3, 2014 by Mike Chernecki
JTalmage Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Man... those indy profiles oughta sell like hot cakes... thats an iconic tire! Any more drag radials coming out soon? 315/35/17?
Chief Joseph Posted October 3, 2014 Author Posted October 3, 2014 Man... those indy profiles oughta sell like hot cakes... thats an iconic tire! Any more drag radials coming out soon? 315/35/17? Nothing definitive planned at the moment; I am still concentrating mainly on tires you'd see on 70's and 80's street cars. Nice! I want some. We had those on our 1969 Nova. Will there be two different sets in each scale "50" & "S/S"? Or will different sidewall be printed on each side? Yes, that's exactly what I did: one sidewall reads "50" and the other side reads "S/S" so I basically get two different looks from one part. Having 1/25 and 1/24 versions is bad enough; I can't image having another two separate masters based on different lettering!

TooOld Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Those Indy Profile N50's look really nice Joseph . Any idea how long before they're available ?
Chief Joseph Posted October 10, 2014 Author Posted October 10, 2014 The N50-15 is officially available on www.fireballmodels.info.
