McNab Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hi everyone. Hope you're all surviving. I've been a bit obsessed with WW1 Model T's and all their variants; especially the LCP stripped down versions. I have a couple more builds planned but have run out of spare tyres and wheels. Anyone know where I can buy them if they exist? I found a company in the States who do them but they seemed expensive for 4 wheels. Any advice much appreciated.

Ford Ts did use a variety of wheel sizes so 1/32 ones would not look out of place on 1/35 Hi BK well yes and thank you, but would it be possible to send a photo as I am not sure what you mean by artillery spoked wheels?

06/24 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Also I think ICM offer a spares service, they might be willing to sell you a Sprue B or two direct? Like you, I’m currently rather obsessed with the ICM Ford T’s, in my case various US Army examples in France. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I compared some 35 and 32 bits I have in various spares boxes, and the difference is very obvious. But I am thinking about doing a 1/32 scale LCP in the future once I locate a suitable donor kit. So I will bear you in mind! Thanks again and take care cheers Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes these were the ones I found as well, but couldn’t find a local seller. The postal rates from the US do make it rather expensive. But thank you anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They became so battered and beaten yet still trudged on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
