Maybe a Panzer, a tracked AA or an unfinished build.. None of those or all of them.. Can't make up my mind

How do you do such crisp wheel painting?

How do you do such crisp wheel painting? A brush and a lot patience, I'd rather do 8 wheels slowly and then get back the next days and get the another set of wheels done, and then the same process for the other side of the wheels. It takes some time but I prefer doing this than putting pins on single link tracks..

I`ve totally lost track of your build sequence John but everything looks tickety boo so far fella I don't want you to feel lost here so here we go ::
M51, Panther , Bradley ( Meng & Tamyia )
Tristar Panzer 38(t), Miniart T-44
Yak-27 and aircaft that I started in 2021 or 2020, can't be sure, Kalinin K-5 and the first of my Silver Arrows Projects, Mig-17
Some new things might be boarding this mad plastic locomotive soon ...
I was trying to find my BMD's but they might be in the garage with a dozen other kits, but I found these
Another unfinished kit from the past,

Some more work on the Panzer 38(t) turret and the rubber tires are ready for some paint.
This is the E/F version, Tristar's B version has a full interior... that's is going to be tricky with such a small and fragile build
Meng's Panther A wheels, needed another coat of Dunkelgelb before finishing the rubber tires. Still a lot of work on this one... I will weather the wheels too with a few washes & filters.
See you on the next update !

It is almost like the builds of everyone on this site thrown into one single topic... By the way, is there much difference between the Meng and the Tamiya Bradley in quality and detailing?

I don't think there is much difference in quality. There is some in detailing, mostly because Meng's base kit is planned to have the interior built in and also the suspension / wheels has more detail.
The surface on the metal plate armor is very good. These plates with the tools are very thin and the tools a little fragile compared to Tamyia.
Quality wise, I think they match so far, but Meng is more detailed, but there is still a lot of work to be done in this build.
