Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone may know of a source for RS Watanabe wheels in 1/12 scale...?
I bought some Tamiya wheels/snow tyres and the wheels are close, but not close enough for the project they'll be going on...:confused:
I've also looked into some RC stuff, but the 1/10 is way to large....
If I have no luck, looks like I'll have a go at making some...but I may need a hand to turn up some rims...Rob (Robrex)...you there...?
If I can pull it off, I'd like to get them cast as there are several kits they would suit...
Any help gratefully appreciated.
cheers
Greg

Hey Greg.
Kunta had a progress thread here on a 1/12 Tamiya 240 ZG (what a coincidence ...lol) where he scratchbuilt some Panasports.
I think he was casting a set for himself...

I still haven't decided what wheels to use on my 240z yet, but let me know if your not going to use the Tamiya minilites... I might be interested.
