My wife moved our bedroom around this past weekend. Some of my kits were tucked safely away under the bed. Yesterday I FIND one of my AMT Flameout rear wheels on my bathroom sink...
I imdiately go for the box it was in and find it was probably dumped out, and pieces had been broken. Only piece I cannot find is the front tire, and one outer wheel.
Will pay or trade whatever for this piece. I know it's childish but it's turned into a big argument in my household. Hope somebody can help.
thanks, Tyler

you can get a sealed re-pop depth charger kit for cheap off e-bay.(probably $15.00 - $20.00)
it's not like you'd be bastardizing a vintage kit for a wheel.
man, I'm sorry, but my wife never touches any of my model stuff.

Nice, You'd think as much arguing it's caused in the past mine wouldn't touch mine either. She thinks I'm a ten yr old boy. I tell her its my passion, and some of this stuff is rediculous to find without buying a high dollar sealed kit. Our house isn't big enough right now, and I have no were to store it. I tell her and tell her, never listens. I've bought a storage container this week. When it gets here my stuff will be put on shelves in it, and won't come back out until I have a new house or a place to build. I'll probably just buy the depth charger. Luckily the piece that was lost was ina re pop. |

Like I said not having a set place to build it really limits my building.. I think I stil had a few little pieces to finish it. Being is that the Depth charger is the same I mayjust start over. the front axle snapped in half in the box, and I never was quite thrilled with some of my chassis on my flmae out. |

I would recomend that you try to save what origional parts you can I made the mistake of using using mostly reprodution parts on a very rare kit and try to restore a end I didn't feel like the kit was as good as it could have been I would try to restore all the parts I could. By the way your kit looked very good a few months after you posted your kit I bought one of my own. It looked very bad and was a major gluebomb after many attempts to restore the kit I sent it to wolfie were he did his magic on it. Now that kit is one of the more interesting peices in my collection |

skulldude gots a nicer parts kit in the for sale section Yes he does, check the For sale/swap section. Another donor kit would be the Royal Rail if I'm not mistaken. Gerry G |

The Royal Rail wheels are cycle-style spoke wheels. Not the same.
