looking good so far,turned out well,
and maybe I think if you do look at old wheels,


you do see where they joined,most of the time in a angle join,then the steel rim over the top that holds them all together,


so maybe you real don't need to fill the joins in theses one,just what I,m thinking,

Thanks Monica.


You can't see from these pics Monica.


But where the spokes join the outer rim they need filler at the back.

oh ok,I get what you do mean,and were,as well,was thinking,


the wheel ones you were going to fill,

That carriage looks very well detailed Ralph ( is that a PE set with the brackets at the rear?


Does this set also come with the limber? Think that's would be an added bonus for display IMHO


Kind regards

There is no PE with this kit.Mainly resin with plastic and wire.Although I have broke a part today,so had to remake it in brass sheet.


There is no limber either,but I agree it would look good.
