fightersweep Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hi all; Just a quick question to ask if anyone knows if the 1/24 FG Models resin Routemaster wheels are still available? I've searched around the web and not managed to find anything. Or have I so missed the boat with these wheels, that it's circumnavigated the globe and already come back to port? Thanks in advance; Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richellis Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I don't think FG are still going, I know of a few people that brought wheels that never arrived, and they took me for £40ish by not sending an order. the care wheels do show up on eBay now and then, but other than the one set of routemaster wheels I have I've never seen another set up for sale. Shame they did a range of nice truck wheels with correct hubs and profiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Hi! Thanks for the reply. I was gaining the impression that FG Models had ceased trading going by the lack of info online, so it seems I did miss the boat. I've only just got around to buying the Revell RML, which the plan is, to convert to a Southend Transport RM, so I figured that I would need these wheels. I've also drawn a blank on pretty much any after market for this kit, as the Revell photo etch set also seems long gone. I know the kit has been out for a few years now, but I'm surprised that there doesn't seem to be any aftermarket available at the moment. Might have to be a OOB build. Edit: Brilliant! Just found a load of photo etch on Spotmodel.com. Haven't dealt with them before, but feel a 90 Euro order coming!

richellis Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Look at ctm, Czech truck Models, they do some very good etch sets, I've felt with them a lot and they are good people to buy off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Hi Rich; Damn! Those Czech Truck Model sets are what I just bough from Spotmodel. If I had bought them direct, I would have saved a packet! You live and learn! Best regards; Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
