Quickwheel 1:35 Nashorn is a masking set for the road wheels of the Nashorn tank destroyer, cut for the Tamiya kit. It deals with painting the tire bands on wheels that are paired tightly side by side.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is not a kit but a masking accessory. The set separates the rubber tire band from the rim on the road wheels of the Nashorn in 1:35 scale, so you need not find the edge between the shades freehand. The shape of the mask matches the wheels of the Tamiya kit — with wheel masks the cut is tied to a particular molding, so check the match beforehand.
The Nashorn stands on a chassis derived from the German medium tanks of the period and does not have individually sprung wheels. The road wheels are small and grouped in pairs into bogies on leaf springs, so there are eight of them on each side and they stand tightly together. That tightness is the main difficulty: the gap between the two wheels of one bogie is so narrow that a brush can only reach into it with its tip, and that already means an uneven edge. Above the wheels run return rollers of a considerably smaller diameter, and at the front is a toothed drive sprocket that differs from the road wheels entirely. On top of that comes the vehicle's open superstructure, which draws the viewer's attention to the sides of the hull and therefore to the running gear.
Anyone can cut a circle out of masking tape, but with sixteen small wheels every circle has to be the same. Hand-cut tape always has a slightly angular circumference, and where the end overlaps a step forms that paint will bleed under. A set with a ready-made shape removes that problem and above all saves the time that would otherwise go on preparation alone. Paint and mask the wheels while you can still hold them individually.
This is an accessory for a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
