Best place for cheaper 'aftermarket' parts?
Posted: Tue Aug 21, 2018 7:32 am
Hi all,
I am brand new to the hobby and have so far made a grand total of 1 kit
I have many kits on the shelf which I am gradually collecting to then work though, they are all currently 1/24 scale cars - mainly JDM. I am just looking around for a few options for slightly cheaper aftermarket modding parts, mainly wheels, I see that a set of wheels usually comes to around £10 a set which in some cases is almost the same cost as the model!
I was just wondering if there were any places that offered cheaper aftermarket wheels, or is a case of just going for the more expensive wheels as that's the only option out there? Its more of a case of wanting something slightly cheaper to start with whilst learning - although saying that I could always repaint them at a later date.
Most of my kits I am interested in are iconic Japanese cars, I guess the same might be true of the wheels, was just expecting the wheels to cost slightly less I guess.
Thanks in advance!
