upgrades: Mad Max Interceptor
Posted by OctaneOrange on Thursday, June 9, 2011 8:47 PM

I bought the PlanetX Interceptor a few years ago, but honestly it's a poor rendition of the XB Falcon sedan. First upgrade is to replace the innaccurate rims. I found some nice "sunraysia" style rims in the new revell Bronco kit. it's not a straight swap tho. the tires needed to be wide and found some revell 48 ford street rod tires for the rear, but they were too small for the rim, so i excavated out the inner of the solid rubber tire and also filed down the rim until they fitted snugly.

 

 

I found some nice goodyears for the front and did the same filing. the rims are slightly oversize, but are correct otherwise, and have very nice chrome.

here's how they look. i'd also like to repaint it at some stage, maybe see if i can fix up that front to be more accurate (it looks like it's crashed into a concrete wall - too flat)
