Need some new wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

hgs_notes · 10-10-2011, 04:41 PM

Last winter I built a 1/25 scale model replica of my truck, but the wheels don't match. I've searched ebay and just haven't had any luck. So I'm hoping one of you that does a lot of model building might have a set that will match my old cyclone or turbo fan style wheels in scale. Or even let me know of a certain model that might have come with this style of wheel. The general lee ones are different btw. Also looking for aluminum slot style for a Jimmy model.

Thanks for any help.

Try the dukes of hazzard general lee wheels or the a team van wheels. I'll look tomorrow to see if I have extras. If you don't hear from me, pm me. I tend to forget sometimes.

I had a set of turbines from a Monogram kit,just can't remember which.I want to say the 56 Chevy kit. Their stuff is a tad big since they always had to be oddballs with 1/24 scale while everyone else (AMT,Revel,MPC,Johann) did 1/25th.

Yep, I found that one and posted it on another thread, but thanks for the info. It was Monogram 1956 Chevy Bel Air Classic Cruiser series. Comes with both stock style wheels and the turbo fans/cyclones/hurricane wheels, but uses he same tires for either style. The larger tire actually made a better fit for my model.

I made one mistake though. I should have painted the inside of the rear wheel backs black...
