Building my '86 Fiero SE using Monogram '85 GT kit. I'm not getting too crazy with this, just looking to build a few cars representing some personal cars...
Here's a couple reference photos...

Was gonna just go flat black, but I decided to weather the undercarriage a bit to make it more interesting :)

I'm not sure. I thought I'd seen them in scale before, but can't find them when I need them. I'll have to look into that...

Digi design of the wheels came out great!!

I've found that one needs to give slightly more room around the lugs, and holes more open, as they will paint fill afterwards quite a bit

The wheels in the link are very close, only missing the holes around perimeter, which could easily be drilled with exacto #11 or micro drill bit

Excellent! These are only 7 spokes vs 9, but I may use them anyhow. Thanks!

Wheels arrived. They look pretty nice so I think I'll be using them. The tire tread even matches :)
