Hi, I'm a new member here who is on a mission! Are replacement wheels available for the 1/25 Revell Mickey Thompson's Challenge I kit? I bought a used kit and the wheels look like someone chewed them off the sprue. The kit is really old and the decals look questionable too. Are these replacements around anywhere? Thanks for any help, Gary

You can try Fireball Modelworks. Joseph Osborn might have what you need for tires. Not sure about decals, though.

Thanks for the info Jim. I'll get in touch with him. I don't need the tires, they're still in good shape. It's the wheels that look like hell. I've noticed that the kit(reissue) is available in a few places on the 'net for around $20. That might be my best route. Thanks again, Gary

That will probably be your best bet as resin wheels & new decals will probably cost more than $20.

Oh, not to pick on this site, but it's really an armor modeling site (they just let the rest of us play). If you really want a good & active auto modeling site, check here: Model Car Magazine Forum.
