About product

M3 Lee and Grant wheel masking set in 1:35 scale

An accessory for painting from Quickwheel. The masks stick onto the wheels from your kit, you spray the tire bands with an airbrush and masking out with a brush is done away with. According to its name the set is cut for the MiniArt kit — with wheel masks that is not a detail but the main parameter, because the wheel diameter differs between manufacturers by tenths of a millimeter and a mask has to seat exactly.

What makes the running gear of this subject special

The M3 medium tank was given the same bogie suspension that the Sherman later took over: three bogies per side, in each a pair of small road wheels and above them a return roller seated directly on the bogie. The British Grant version differed from the American Lee in its turret; the running gear stayed the same. That is precisely why the M3 is demanding to mask — the wheels are small, sit deep under the tall flank of the hull and are partly shielded, so you reach them with a brush at an awkward angle. Spraying a tire band over a mask is considerably more certain in such a position than lining it by hand.

How to work with it

Clean the wheels, level the seams and spray the base shade. Lay the mask onto a dry finish, press it down around the circumference and spray in thin coats square to the rim. We recommend finishing the wheels before fitting them into the hull — masking is far harder on a completed running gear. A tire band color toward a dark gray looks truer than pure black.

Who the set is for

  • For a beginner who does not trust a hand-drawn tire band line on a first tank
  • For an experienced modeler whose main concern is the time spent on six wheels per side
  • For builders of Allied equipment with bogie suspension
  • For anyone building the M3 from MiniArt who paints with an airbrush

This is a masking accessory. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. Both versions share the same bogie suspension; the difference is mainly in the turret.

Best before fitting them into the hull. On a completed running gear the wheels are deep under the flank and awkward to work with.

No, the set holds only masks for painting the wheels from your kit.

The name ties them to the MiniArt kit. With another manufacturer the wheel diameter may differ, so check the match beforehand.
