$12 IRS for my third Bird Reply #2 – March 13, 2010, 02:43:31 PM I *think* the wheels are BBS-copied (under license?) by a puppies company now out of business. The Cobra 5-spokes might be close enough for 1:25 with a little work. I check back with you if I can't find something closer. Quote Selected

$12 IRS for my third Bird Reply #6 – March 13, 2010, 10:47:15 PM This is cool! I have an unbuilt 1988 Turbo Coupe model I have been hanging onto forever. I started detailing some parts and never finished building that kit. It was fun making the taillamps look realistic by painting the backside black while leaving the circles clear. With the chrome headlamp buckets, I even put dots of amber paint in the turnsignal sections so it looks like bulbs are in there. I should get back into my old hobby of building models. I really need to get some models out that I had done in the 1990's and take some pictures. I really enjoyed detailing parts right down to the specks of paint representing the gauge needles.
