Aoshima wheels

[supermod04]

I am ordering a fujimi honda crx from best1hobby and i also saw they had aoshima wheels. do the wheels come with tires? or do i need to buy those to?

i have not really ordered parts online so i dont want to order nice wheels with no tires!

[rx7king]

they come with tires, the quality of aoshimas wheels is incredible, i got my first set (abc glanzen 19") and im hooked on them now, willing to pay good money for them lol
they also come with some decals(all of mine did) and some have the chrome lip that comes seperate

....definatly worth ordering IMO

wheels come with tires.

Usually it will tell you what the tires are too.

Most of the wheel packages I see come with tires, I dont know why they wouldnt.

awsome....

I am ordering a stock honda crx si and becuase it being stock has dumb stock rims, so i want to order nicer ones, and i will mold a body kit!! i have like 50 some $$ and the crx is 12$ and the rims are like 10$ and then i will buy some paint and some styrene sheets

o yea got lots of that stuff. i have some squadron putty, grey primer and white, about 20 sheets of sand paper in diffrent grits....i am set for that.

it is my first time ordering a kit and wheels offline. i usually go to the local hobby shop.

Squadron putty is horrible for building bodykits, anyone will tell you that. I suggest getting some Tamiya Epoxy Putty. It gets hard as a rock if not harder.

What you should get for building a body kit:
Lots of sandpaper
Files
Styrene (.020, and .040)
Tamiya Epoxy Putty (A Pack or Two)
Sandable Primer

thanks mike

i got sand paper, squadron putty, quite a few files, and lots of primer. i will be buying some styrene soon!

i used squadron putty on a old civic HB i had i molded a WBK and it was some great stuff. i used the green putty and i tried to redo the car, and there was no way to get the putty off. but i will maybe pick up some tamiya putty.

No problem. I used the Squadron White Putty once, it take forever to dry. I put it under a 300watt floodlight and it wouldnt dry.

nah my squardron white i have right now i have been using it to fill door handels and things and i let it sit for 20 mins and then sand.

I have only had headaches with the Squadron white but really like the Squadron green.

Definitely good advice on the Tamiya epoxy putty, it's good stuff and really useful for scratch building.

Good luck with trying to make a bodykit, I've seen your skills over in 1/43 scale. Im looking forward in seeing what you can do in 1/24-1/25 scale.

yea my 1/43rd scale body kits were ok not the best, but they were so small just to hard to work with and sand and make perfect, thats why i moved back to larger 1/24 and 1/25 scale cars. i have done 1 other body kit on a larger scale car and it wasnt that bad. i will be making most of my kit from styrene and then filling it with minor putty. i want to avoid using alot of putty.
