Rubber tires for F104 Mclaren MP4

Recommended Posts

Hi all

random question.

I have built some amazing bookshelves in my living room and have clearance from my wife to put a model or two into them. As a massive fan of Senna and a lover of the Marlboro Mclaren liveried MP4 cars, I am rather tempted to get one of Tamiya's RC versions, ideally the limited edition F104 version.

I was wondering if there are any rubber tires out there to replace hte foams with. This will be a proper shelf queen so I want it to look as good as possible.

Any ideas?

Yes, there are numerous options. As with the 12mm hex standard for touring cars, the 14mm rear hex and front bearing-in-wheel standard is used for the vast majority of F1 models from a variety of manufacturers, and a lot of F1s run on rubber rather than foam these days. 

The-Border.com has many to choose from.

I have the exact same car with Pit Shimizu tyres too, soft rears and med fronts.

I bought the car secondhand so it even looks as good as yours, theres no way I could paint the body that well. Its taken a bit of damage now though, its Jamie's.
