I was going to say if they are Fiats, then there needs to be a version with the hood up, which was their usual side-of-road posture.

I was going to say if they are Fiats, then there needs to be a version with the hood up, which was their usual side-of-road posture.

The engine is in the back, so it would be the rear hatch.    If you tought that the Italian Fiats were unreliable, just imagine the Polski Fiats which were made with inferior materials and poor workmanship.    But those enterprising Poles did manage to get keep them running.

The engine of the little Fiats is in the back indeed. The rear hatch of the Fiat 126 folds downward. So 'hood up' is technically not possible. (Smart move by those Italian engineers)
Fiats are in Europe also not so well known for their reliability, but I believe the little Fiat models are quite robust. Maybe because there is not much that could brake down.
In Poland the Fiat 126 was known as Polski Fiat 126p (Polish Fiat) and was basically something like the Model T Ford was in the 1910s and 1920s.
In Italy the Fiat 126 must have been quite popular too, but since the Italian customer had far more choice of cars the 126 was not so extremely common as in Poland where due to the political and economical situation the freedom to chose was very much restricted.
The Fiat 126 was in the former Yugoslavian federation produced too as 'Zastava 126'.

Maurice, if you were to print theses wheels flat, with the outside of the wheel facing up, that would result with the best surface finish (no wax support fuzziness on the face of the wheels). Of course that would man that there would not be any stub axles, but (at least to me) that omission would be worth the increases surface smoothhenss.

These good-looking wheels (for a very good reason) have "European flavor".  Would you also consider producing similar wheels for the American versions of the trucks (Herpa/Con-Cor)?

Hi Peteski,

You are right. The outside-up should give the best print quality. I have been considering this orientation too, but decided to use the one that's on sale.
The reason is that with the wheels facing up, one wheel needs to be separated and via a littel insert mounted on the rest of the axle. This makes it a bit more complicated to assemble. Also, by chosing this orientation, I would need to 'sprue'  the wheels together. Otherwise the parts would become too small and certainly way to expensive.
Sprues however are prone to printing errors, rejections and requires customers to cut the parts apart. So generally I try to avoid the usage of 'sprues'.

Hi everybody,
