Re: Revell BMW i8-Do someone make the correct wheels?

My Plamoz i8 and Corvette wheels shipped ; both kits desperately needed the improved wheels.

Anyone seen this? From Hobby Search detail kit due momentarily. Anyone know if the wheel faces are the same undersized dimensions as Revell's?

Sure, because it was designed for the standard wheels from Revell's kit.

BTW. This is a comparison of the Revell's tyres and 3D model.




Other photos of the kit you will find here: https://fotki.yandex.ru/users/mikhai.../album/162572/

Finally, it's ready for 3D printing.

Re: Revell BMW i8-Do someone make the correct wheels?

Each wheel will be consist of three parts. My wheel has deeper spokes, so according to my calculations, you should cut 1,1-1.2 mm from each front spinning hub (part B41 and B45), however you should add about 0,7-0,8 mm to each rear hub (part B20 and B22). In fact, kit has wrong size of the front and the rear track.

Nice looking wheel/tire combo Mikhail, I had no interest in the BMW i8 kit cause the wheels/tires looked so bad. Now if you sell these I'm gonna have to get a set and a kit......thanks, like I haven't spent enough on new kits this year.

Also, any chance you might be doing some correct wheels/tire for the new Porsche 918 kits? I've got one of each and would love to have the correct size rims and proper tires with the Michelin markings. Please....

Re: Revell BMW i8-Do someone make the correct wheels?

Not yet. I have ordered 3D printing just yesterday, and it cost me 6350 roubles=99$ without delivery. After that I need to prepare the printed parts for copying and to order the producing of molds and copies. I suppose, it will take me another couple of weeks. I will post photos of printed parts when they appeared.

Re: Revell BMW i8-Do someone make the correct wheels?

I have lost the main part of motivation after my conflict with USCP company. Anyway, I will made some sets of the copies of these wheels with soft tyres. Not for the commercial purpose, because this is not my cup of tea. I am doing it only for my friends. I even have bought the components for the moulding of the soft tyres. Hope, the copies will be made during this or the next month.
