GT40 Wheels/Tires

[Mike Chernecki]

I have been looking for a set of correct wheels/tires for the Fujimi 1968 GT40 P1075. I found LeMans Miniatures has a set, actually 2 sets; ACW124005(1968) and ACW124002(1969). They show a photo of the ACW124002(1969) kit, but not the other. Does anyone know the difference between these 2 kits? The ACW124002(1969) sure looks like the 1968 wheels/tires. Am I missing some subtle difference or the ACW124005(1968) completely different? Not sure which to get for this vesion of the Fujimi kit.

I bought a set of the 1969 Mk I BRM wheels and a set of the Mk IV wheels from LeMans Miniatures a while ago and they look great.

But I don't know the difference between the 124002 and 124005 sets...maybe the width and the tires are different...otherwise I don't have a clue as they used BRM wheels both years.
But you can shoot them an email and ask.

I will send them an email... Thanks

The 69 tires are wider and Firestones. If I remember correctly, the 68 car ran Goodyears. I have both sets from LMM and they are super nice! Well worth the $ to me.

Thanks Bill,

I am building the 1968 P1075 kit, so I guess I will order the 1968 version. Thanks

It was as I suspected then...my guess wasn't that bad.

They sent me some pictures today, they look good. The '68 is smaller tire and Firestones.

The kits and parts from LeMans Miniatures are all first rate. Very well done, I've been very impressed with my GT40 tires/wheels and I have a complete kit, full detail of the 69 LeMans Ford Gt40.
