I have two; one from before they re-tooled, and one from after. They are brilliant; I love them. I cannot recommend them highly enough. The review that Peter Kempf did is from before they re-tooled, so none of his criticisms are true any more; it seems they reacted positively to his constructive criticism.
The wheels that it comes with are 12mm in diameter, including the tyres, or just under 10mm without the tyres. I have replaced the wheels on mine with shirt buttons, drilled out to accept a PE fret of spokes from Scalelink. I got the idea for the size of the wheel and tyre combined from looking at photos and judging them to be up to about the waist of an average man.
With the Lanchester kit I have realised I have had too many wheels cast up.So I am planning to sell a set of wheels (8) with the etch for the spokes.The tyres are in whitemetal, normal (grooved) and anti skid (smooth) there will be 3 antiskid and 5 normal.
When I get a chance I will take a pic and put it on this thread.
"I have replaced the wheels on mine with shirt buttons"
Maybe you should post a pic
In a recent house move, the model met with a serious accident. That's OK, it means I get to build the thing twice, which is certainly good value for money.
I will take some pictures, but don't expect anything near as good as those from Plastikk and Plastic Fan!
