Nice when you have the coin to do things like that yes!

Nice just to have coin

yes!

Here's my crappy mock up....
Looking at the proposed rim & tyre combo....

Now, if I use the stepped sleeves and fabricate some sort of rim to suit yes!

[Luke]

I reckon go with the Pegasus sleeves and find or mod some rims to fit also the red looks good against the grey and black.

oh yeah, it's a blown donk which is well detailed, might have to add wires and hoses to bring it to life yes!

I read somewhere before that 'buttons' have been used inside these sleeves, just a matter of finding something that looks like a wheel....not a button
Off to 'Spotlight'

Spare parts top fuel engine ??

Buttons aye, clever idea who ever thought of that.
Good luck with the search, hopefully you will find some that will be perfect for rim centre's crossed

Another vote for the sleeves. The primer and red just looks to good

Looking good so far, got one of these in my part bin could not get the nose to fit on the front so now its for spare parts.

[Ray]

Cheers guys, yeah plenty of spares to detail the engine even more Luke yes!

So sleeves it is....meanwhile I've been distracted from the Kenworth, I should pull my finger out and get back to it or else the sh.t will hit the fan if don't finish ohno

Grab some 2mm styrene and cut some circles out that are sorta the right size for the sleeves, but not too small to fit in. Drill a hole throught the middle and mount a circle on a sanding-disk holder bit for your dremel, then you can 'turn' out a blank 'smoothie' that fits perfik, then it's just a matter of plugging up the center hole, adding lugs and cutting in some spokes.

Looking good so far, I agree about the scoop, perfect attitude-adder
