[BarryW]

Wow some work on those tyres Barry. Very nice to see such detail.
Gives a a great feeling when building.

Tamiya and one other manufacturer could pull off this well.

Who is the other one Barry ?

I have also done a test fit of the engines and you just cannot get a better fit than this.

Wheels dry brushed with a Dark Earth pigment.


And fitted into the legs. Note the jigs Tamiya provide to help assemble them.


Here is an overview of the components so far. I will be joining some of these soon

I primed with black primer then sprayed MRP Rubber Tyre. When dry I used a stiff brush to brush on AK Interactive Dark Earth pigment, brushed dry. I finally use a softer brush all over to get the dusty rubber tyre look I wanted. Simplicity in itself.

They are MRP - their laquer solvent range is probably the best paint for models that you can get for the airbrush.

Here is a review of them I did a while back:

There are plenty of other reviews out there:

You will need to Google to find where to get them.

thanks Barry , still not sure about last part , do you use any liquids with the pigment

[BarryW]

No Peter. I just brush the pigment in no liquid, best on a matt surface. That way you get that nice dusty effect.
