Love the chassis, Chris. Brass and wire is always beautiful to my eyes…. even some lumpy old creation from the past. The Aurora body is not easily found these days. I should also mention that the mo...

Quote:Wheels and tyre combo comes out around 30-32mm and looks around the same as the kit wheels. Thanks for your reply. I have some of those and thought they looked a bit on the small side…. No?
