Calling all modellers (ade??)

[Pistol Pete]

I had a clearout the other day. Put some shelves up to display my model cars. Found my Tommi Makinen edition Evo. I have built the whole model, but i chose to build the tarmac spec, which until i was ready to fit the wheels i found no tyres were included, D'oh lol.

Any ideas where i can get some. Wasnt sure if there were any modelling guys on here that might know? I have done the usual google, but not found alot. The model shop the misses bought it from has since shut down.

TIA.

ummmm, there is a shop in my town called

galaxy models and are really helpful.

they post out etc etc.

do you know the scale etc as they would need it

p.s i like ade have a degree in modelmaking. :)

[Pistol Pete]

lol just thought, better tell you the scale!

Its 1/24. Item number is 24200-1800. Its a Tamyia kit.

I have searched using the above info but getting naff all back. 4 tyres...thats all i need! Wheels are 21mm in diameter and 12mm wide. Needs to be a low profile, dont want any arch scrubbage lol lol

[Mazz]

Have you still got the manual for it? If you have there should be part numbers in there for the tyres.

[Pistol Pete]

All the instructions point to the gravel spec. I will re check them though.

EDIT: on the instructions, it has a section called aftermarket service card. 9402312 is tire bag. Hmmm, could this be it?

[bmw156]

seems like it.

edit, searched your part no and it gave me this

eBay :thumb:

[Pistol Pete]

All the stuff on eBay seems to be R/C stuff.

[Jack]

Aye, was about to say Ebay. There's a shedload of modelling modding parts on there, especially wheels/tyres.

+ rep for building the tarmac spec car. Always more pleasing to the eye with their ride height and rim choice. lol

[Pistol Pete]

lol cheers Liam.

[Zeus]

Are you still after tyres for this???

[LEWI007]

Ive got a big box FULL of model car parts cos i sometimes build stuff when im bored, im busy building a spaceframe mk2 escort with a c20let.

Ive also got a tommi makinen evo model that ive just took all the parts and am propably not going to build, and ive got hundreds of tyres, propably the size you need.

[Sloth]

what kit did you use to get the let lewi?

[Bubba]

www.models4sale.com (http://www.models4sale.com)

[Pistol Pete]

Didint realise this had been replied to since my last post!!! Cheers for the links. I'll check them out.

Wheels are 21mm in diameter and 12mm wide. Tyre profile will need to be low.

Could you have a look for me?

[LEWI007]

No it isnt a pi55 take.

I didnt get the LET with a model, it originally was a cosworth engine but i chopped the headcover up and made it the same shape as an XE headcover then made some custom turbo exhaust manifold off a porsche and a custom intake off a honda engine.

excuse sh1tty quality aswell.

and the escort is chopped to pieces at the minute

this is all the models

dont know if that evo is the same on as yours.

ive got a seperate box with coilovers and rollcages etc.. and one full of wheels and tyres. dont know what size you need though.

[Mazz]

Is it an Escort or Fiesta??

[L14MNP]

Looks more like a mk1 Fiesta too me also.

LOL @ head cover. Stop making up terms Lewi, you'll break the internet / Ae you gay? Destroying a YB lump to make an XE is criminal - even in the scale world. lol

[Mike]

Destroying a YB lump to make an XE is criminal - even in the scale world. lol

True, true :)

[Jonezy]

It looks like a Fiesta because its been chopped.

[LEWI007]

Yes i chopped it to try and make a mk1 fiesta but might be hard because of the way the rear lights sit.

[Zeus]

Not that difficult, just use some terrys chocolate orange box for the lights. I use them for windows.
