Paragon Designs 1/48 Lancaster Bulged Wheels

THESE WHEELS ARE SOLID RESIN AND ONLY NEED THE MOULDING BLOCKS TO BE SANDED OFF, TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE FLAT ! THE HOLES NEEDS TO BE DRILLED OUT FOR WHEEL STRUTS.



NOTE - IF YOU ARE GOING TO DRILL STRAIGHT THROUGH WHEEL HUBS MAKE SURE DRILL IS SQUARE TO THE WHEEL AS IT IS VERY EASY TO GO OFF COURSE AND COME THROUGH SIDE OF THE HUB.

PAINTING -

I DID THE HUBS IN A MATT SILVER, THE TYRES WHERE PAINTED A BLACKY GREY COLOUR, THEN I RUBBED DARK EARTH INTO THE TYRE TREAD WHICH LEFT THE GAPS IN THE TREAD MUCKY AND THEN DID AN OVER ALL WASH OF THINNED DOWN MATT BLACK WHICH FLOWED INTO HUB,

THE RESULT IS A WHEEL AND TYRE THAT LOOKS GOOD, AND STANDS WELL LIKE THEY DO ON A REAL LANCASTER
