OK - it's time to apologise to Revell! Grovel grovel.
Looking at the images Steve (Stona) found, I guess the Revell offering is not as bad as I thought. It's certainly within reasonable limits in terms of it being an older kit at the cheap end of the market. I'll have a closer look at Steve's pics and see if I can use the thing I have can as is or whether I'll have to have a go at tarting it up somehow. I might be able to get away with wrapping something thin around the centre section to reduce the depth of the groove and live with it being too wide.
Just goes to show sometimes. I would never have accepted that as a wheel without seeing those pics - and I'll bet I'm not the only one who thought it needs a tyre. I wonder how many folks will look at a finished version of the kit and think the same?
Thanks guys.
