About product

Sd.Kfz. 8 wheel masking set in 1:35 scale (Quickwheel)

A sheet of self-adhesive masks cut to the shape of the wheels of the twelve-ton Sd.Kfz. 8 half-track tractor. It is not a model or a set of replacement parts — the set serves solely to keep the rubber tire band separated from the rim while spraying. The masks match the wheels from the kit by Trumpeter.

Procedure on wheels with a protective hub cap

Road wheels of this category of equipment tend to have a projecting hub cap in the middle. That causes two difficulties when masking: self-adhesive film will not seat flat on it and paint gathers easily under the dome. The proven routine is to settle the mask on the outer edge of the wheel first, where precision is what counts, and only then press it down toward the middle — any rippling is thus pushed into places where it does not affect the result. The hub cap itself is usually metal, so it is sprayed along with the rim; lay the paint on it square from above, not at a slant, or a dark shadow will form under its edge from the spot the spray did not reach.

Procedure and tips

  • Degrease the wheels and let the base rubber shade cure completely before applying the mask.
  • Settle the mask from the outer edge toward the center.
  • Around the domed hub, press the film down with a fingernail or a wooden toothpick, not with a sharp tool.
  • Spray in shorter passes and square to the face of the wheel.
  • Remove the mask as soon as the paint has flashed off; the edge then stays smooth.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building half-track equipment and artillery tractors in 1:35 scale.
  • Those who want a clean rubber-to-rim transition even on a wheel of more complicated shape.
  • Builders who want to shorten the most tedious part of painting a running gear.

The package contains masks only. The kit, paints and thinners are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

Settle it on the outer circumference first, where precision is what counts, and only then press it down toward the middle. Any rippling is thus moved to a place where it does not affect the result.
