One photograph can address several of these comments.
Firstly, I don’t do contests any more. Not in decades. So if I use aftermarket it’s because I don’t have the skills (PE) or the time to scratchbuild my own parts. On top of that, the footman loops on the Centurion have still not been done to my satisfaction, PE or otherwise. Speaking of pimps…
That said, these resin wheels look far better than the ones in my photo. I imagine I could, after hours and hours of putting in my own time, achieve that efftect, or not. Some of those cracks are pretty hard to do with a no. 11 blade. I’ve tried.
They might be a little pricey, but as it’s been pointed out, you don’t need to put them on every wheel station. You could probably do three or four kits with one set. And they look fantastic.
My only question is, how many different damaged wheels do you get? I see a repeat in the photo. I don’t want them all the same.
My time is more valuable to me than money. I can always make more money. According to my wife I’m doing so as I type this. But I can’t get back time. If I buy a set for any future Centurions I’ll be sure to post the results.
