MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Well, the set from the Coupster parts kit is on its it way to him. Spoke about my concerns. Hope it lasts.
  2. Yes TS-92 Metallic Orange and TS-87 Titanium Gold
  3. Doh!!! Still hadn't had all my morning coffee when I read that.
  4. I'm putting the set from the Coupster in your Midnite Cowboy box now and taking it to the PO for mailing in about two hours. Look for it separately in the box.
  5. The tires are not as small in diameter as compared to the wheels when you bring them loser. In the box, they looked a bit smaller. The centers of the tires need careful trimming from the cloddy center tab. They are not the greatest in tread and look. I still would recommend using something else, but here is what they are
  6. Looking at the tires in the Coupster kit, I think they were originally the same as the Vantastic. And the tires in the box are smaller than the rim and look like street tires. I think, over time, they would split off as they aged. I think it is the material used in the tires. I have a bunch of tires in my stash and can check them against the kit wheels to see what might work. If I were building any of these kits, I definitely would not use the included tires. You're showing SATCO. Are they still in business? I thought they shut down years ago. I bought quite a few aftermarket tires from them.
  7. Are these IMSA or Challenge cars? Or?
  8. I checked the Coupster kit, and the tires are smaller than the rims which means they would be stretched out to go over the rim. The Coupster is a parts kit and I did not get a chance to mail off the Midnite Cowboy today. I could open the box and put the tires inside with the Cowboy kit if you would like? I'll then get it mailed tomorrow.
  9. The Coupster and the Smoothser have the same wheels, so I am assuming they are the same tires (or close)
  10. Getting close to completion. I did not take a lot of progress pictures. Revell 1957 Ford Del Rio kit is the base with aftermarket seats from Texas 3D Customs, Engine from Revell Foose FD100 kit, wheels from AMT Meyers Manx and tires from AMT Parts Pack. More details with finish review in about a week and a half.
  11. It is high quality paint. I use it along with HOK, Zero, Scale Finishes, Firescale, Splash and MCW depending on what I'm painting. They also carry a large variety of interior color options including sets to replicate Alcantara if you wish.
  12. Sorry. Kit is complete but you have nothing yet of interest to trade.
