About product

AMX-30 and AUF1 wheel masking set in 1:35 scale (Quickwheel)

Self-adhesive masks cut to the shape of the road wheels. This is not a kit or a set of extra parts — the set merely marks out the area of the rubber tire band while spraying and separates it from the rim. The cut matches the wheels from the kit of the 155 mm self-propelled howitzer on the AMX-30 chassis by Meng.

What to do about the wheels on a vehicle destined for a diorama

If the model is to end up in a scene, the priorities change. Wheels sunk into the terrain or covered in mud need not be taken to perfection — what matters is the upper half of the running gear, because that is what stays visible. Even so it pays to spray every wheel the same way: once the model is settled on its base it usually turns out that more is visible than expected, and finishing a wheel among completed tracks is unpleasant. The practical routine is therefore to finish the wheels as a batch over the masks and only then decide which of them will get more mud during the weathering. A sharp rubber-to-rim border also serves in a diorama as a foothold for washes — the color catches in it and the transition looks natural.

Procedure and tips

  • Finish all the wheels, including those that will end up sunk in the terrain.
  • Lay the rubber shade on before applying the mask, the rim only after it.
  • Lift the mask off once the paint has flashed off, not after it has cured.
  • A wash then runs into a finished rubber-to-rim border of its own accord and the transition looks natural.
  • Apply dust pigments only once the running gear is glued up, not to individual wheels.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of modern French equipment in 1:35 scale.
  • Modelers preparing a vehicle for a diorama scene.
  • Those who want a uniform running gear with no touch-ups by hand.

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

FAQ

Yes. Once the model is settled on its base, more tends to be visible than expected, and finishing one wheel among completed tracks is difficult. Differences in mud are dealt with at the weathering stage.

For the kit from Meng. With wheels from another manufacturer neither the diameter nor the relief need match, so check it.

The name gives the AMX-30 and the AUF1, because they share a chassis. The exact contents of the package are stated on the box.
