Re: Tires needed - can you help?

Black resin would be great as I have to enlarge the inner opening of the tires to fit the wheels I'm using anyway. Would it possible to get 2 sets (8 tires)? That way I have an extra set 'just in case'..

I knew a local modeler friend (who sadly died of a heart attack a few years back) who did a lot of resin casting for himself and friends. He used a pressurized chamber, getting excellent results with most parts being completely bubble free. Most of what he did was for aircraft models.

Thanks again,
