Dickie 4 Posted June 29 Message for kkarlsen Evening. I have just join the group after seeing your fantastic conversion of Monty’s Humber (2016/2017). Could you tell me which wheels/tyres you use in the conversion as they seem different from the old AIRFIX kit. Many thanks 3 MARU5137, Vulcan and kkarlsen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MARU5137 14,519 Posted June 30 maybe if the title said calling KKarlsen... it may get Kent's attention. 1 kkarlsen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkarlsen 6,064 Posted June 30 (edited) Hi, thanks for nudging me Richard! Wow this is a long time ago, as I remember it, I used the kit tyres and made a mold for a tyre without a cap. The tyre tread has been made with some thin plastic card, with some grooves added. A new rim was made mounting a piece of styrene in the Dremel and using it as a lathe. The bolts were taken from a pack of Meng Nuts & Bolts... After that i made a silicone mold and cast the five new wheels.

LSP_Mike 4,711 Posted June 30 That would be a great build, and 1/32 to boot. 1 kkarlsen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LSP_Ray 7,754 Posted July 1 Nice work, Kent! I have the same kit and was wondering what to do with it and I like your conversion! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dickie 4 Posted July 2 Kent, you mentioned not having enough 1/32 scale vehicles to go with aircraft models...then how about this 1/35 scale trailer kit which could do the trick... https://ibb.co/S7ZybL1 https://ibb.co/tMwRh7q Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
