Painting the inner parts of road wheels

Hi chaps,
there's many kits out there, where you need to glue the two halves of road wheels together before
getting any paint in place.
I have often cursed and thrown a wobbler, trying to get the inner parts of the road wheels painted decently.
Well, I now have a solution to solve this problem.

What you need is solder or o-rings in different cord sizes.


For this demo I'm using the M26 road wheels from a Dragon (DML) kit.

Take the glued and with vehicle colour, pre-painted wheel and measure the inner width, and possibly the depth too.
If you wish, you can also measure the diameter of the meatl disc, multiply this with Pi and you'll have the length
you need for the solder cuts.




Cut your solder or o-rings to the required length, and wrap them tightly around the wheel. As you can see here,
I left 4mm of the total length off, this is simply to get the solder off easier. This part will not be seen
later anyway, that the bottom where the guide horn goes .






Spray with whatever colour takes your fancy, but black or Nato black is best .
Then, when the paint has dried remove the solder and you'll have a nice surprise .





I hope this of use for some of you chaps .

Cheers
