About product

1:35 M4 High Speed Tractor wheel masking set (Quickwheel, for the Hobby Boss kit)

This is neither a model nor a set of replacement parts. It is a masking sheet that serves a single purpose: to separate the rubber tire band on the road wheel from the rim and put a sharp border between them. The set is cut for one particular M4 High Speed Tractor kit from Hobby Boss, so the shape of the cutouts matches the diameter and profile of the wheels from that mold. It need not fit wheels from another kit of the same vehicle.

How much time a mask saves over lining by hand

The M4 artillery tractor has a long running gear and a matching number of wheels. When the rubber-to-rim border is lined by hand, every wheel means several minutes of concentrated brushwork, then a check, then a repair of the places where your hand wandered. Across a whole running gear that easily turns into a full evening. With a mask the work breaks down into three short operations: stick it on, spray over it, take it off. Sticking on and taking off are mechanical steps that call for neither a steady hand nor a magnifier. The saving does not grow evenly, either, but with the number of wheels: the more a vehicle has, the larger the share of the work the mask takes over.

How to proceed

Clean the mold seams and flash off the wheels first, or the mask will not seat and the paint will bleed under it. Lay down the primer and the rim color, let them dry thoroughly, and only then mask and spray the dark tire color. Apply the paint in thin coats at lower pressure, because a heavy wet coat gets under the edge of a mask faster than anything else. Take the mask off while the paint has flashed off, not after it has cured completely.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the M4 High Speed Tractor in 1:35 scale
  • Anyone who does not want to line the tire bands by hand
  • Builders of vehicles with a larger number of road wheels
  • Beginners who find a hand-drawn line difficult

This is a painting accessory, not a kit. Paints and thinners are not included in the package. Check before ordering that you are building the matching kit.

FAQ

The set is cut for the kit from Hobby Boss. Wheels from a different mold tend to have a different diameter and profile, so the match has to be checked beforehand.

The number of masks on the sheet is stated on the box. Count the wheels on your own running gear before you build and compare them with the contents of the sheet.

The usual order is the rim first, then mask once it has dried and spray the dark tire band. The reverse order also works, it is just harder to cover a light shade over a dark one.

No. These are the masking templates alone; paints, thinner and glue are not in the package.
