crossfire 2004 Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) Could any of the forum gurus point me towards a kit that contains, or a resin caster who produces, these 4 slot small window mag wheels. I believe the recent release of the SWC Willys rear wheels are 4 slot but are they a close match for those show below ? Many thanks in advance . Edited July 20, 2019 by crossfire 2004
gman Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 The closest I have seen in kit form was in the older issue AMT '33 Willys: https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/willys/amt-33-willys-coupe/img931.html
Casey Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Some good info in this topic...: I think the original 1/25 Revell S-W-C '41 Willys is the closest match, so if you can find a pair of those which haven't been used (i.e., come in contact with the tires), I think you'd be all set.
crossfire 2004 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Posted July 21, 2019 Many thanks for the suggestions guys, I have just won a pair of resin large window Halibrands on a well known auction site that may be an option if the small window wheels prove elusive.
Richard Bartrop Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 This is going back a bit, but they were int he XR6 version of AMT's '27 T kit, and I think they were also in a Revell Parts Pack.
crossfire 2004 Posted July 22, 2019 Author Posted July 22, 2019 Good call Sir, sadly the chance of me scoring an XR6 kit here in the U.K. is pretty slim and the parts pack even less. At least I know they have been made at some point, I just have to bide my time and find them.
Richard Bartrop Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 Revell's Orange Crate also has a set, and I think it was reissued recently.

I have an Orange Crate in my stash and as you say it has the small window mags - I hadn’t looked and assumed the rears were solid like the fronts. Thank you all for your thoughts, let the build commence.
