Hi All,
Recently, I picked up a 1:25 AMT boxed European Ford Escort Mk 3 (a very simple, curbside kit) and would like to build a plain, stock, low end version like this:
http://faimg1.forum-auto.com/mesimages/199516/DSCN1860_comp3.jpg
My problem is finding a set of suitably small/narrow wheels and tires for it. The kit tires are too wide and low profile while the kit wheels are early 80's Escort XR3 pepper pots. The stock tire size is 155/80R13 so in scale a tire about 23-24mm dia and 5-6mm wide would be ideal.
Does anyone have a suggestion, a source or better yet, 4 of something like that they would be willing to trade, sell or ?
TIA,
Hiergehts

Revell golf has kinda small tires. Fujimi golf II have even smaller. Tamiya Mini cooper has also.
