I gave up on my build of this model as the plastic spoke wheels look terrible. Yours are amazing!! I had to have a second look to see if it was a model or real.

Excellent model 👍 We used to call them 50SS 🤔
With the exhaust having an open funnel terminal, they made a beautiful noise.

@Rod: Monsterpartyhat gives some details in the description of the build. You may already find there what you are looking for.

Rod -- you can find lots of videos on YouTube on how to do spoke replacements. You'll need 0.3mm stainless steel spring wire and 0.7mm aluminum tubing (I think mine is from K&S; the wire I go on Amazon). I've compiled a playlist of all the spoke replacement videos I could find here:

It's definitely a LOT of work, but so worth it for the realism.

spokes certainly require some work, but the results certainly make a huge difference
