Re: 1:12 replacement tires for Tamiya
I know I am late to the tire replacement game here, but I received my tire set from gp-models and OH MY! They are beautiful. Thank you so much for the quick response and turnaround. Not sure when I will ever get to building my McLaren, but at least I know I have a set of tires that are fantastic vs the vintage ones rotting away. Thank you!

In the next days i will update this thread, had another idea which i wanted to do and i`m doing a final testprint to see if everything works out like i want it to be, then i will present some pics.

So, finaly the promised update.
Not m uch words about it, just had the idea to do the set up wheels for the Mclaren MP 4/6 to have a better view on the Breaks which i will detail with the Top Studio brake set.
They are again 3D printed and i will do them in 1:20 as well for my 1:20 kits.
In 1:12 i also will do the Ferrari 641/2 set up wheels, just need some time to start 3D drawings. If anyone has good pictures from these wheels, i would appriciate if you can post them or send them to me by mail.
Unfortunately i have no clue if similar stuff existed for FW 14b, i can not find any picture and i asked a good source who also never has seen a picture with such wheels on the car. If someone has further informations, please let me know.
So here we go with some pictures, tested again on my scrap model from the junkbox to see how it will look like.
Pictures from 1:20 will follow when the testprint is done.
Edit: Forgot to say the wheels are designed to fit the original kit brakes, when using Top Studio brakes you have to drill the center hole to fit the TS spindle hub!

The 1:20 version is tested and will be a nice feature in a diorama scene. I had none Mclaren model so i used F189 from Tamiya which i did many years ago.
I also created some tools to sand the wheels, they are working nice and remove the pins from supports easy.
