The 1:35 Sd.Kfz. 164 Nashorn wheel masking set marks out the border between the rubber tire band and the rim of the road wheels. The cutouts are cut for the kit from AFV Club.
Responsibility details are not available.
A painting accessory, not a kit of the vehicle. The masks stick onto the road wheels and separate the rubber tire band from the rim, so you need not line the border with a brush. The set is cut for the wheels from the 1:35 scale Sd.Kfz. 164 Nashorn kit by AFV Club.
On a tracked vehicle the wheels and the tracks form one visual whole and it pays to plan them together. Tracks are painted separately in practically every case, because neither their shade nor the worn metal that follows can be done on an assembled running gear. Masked wheels fit that logic exactly: you paint them on their own, take the masks off, finish the tracks on their own as well, and only then put the whole running gear together. That removes the risk of the dark track shade drifting onto the tire bands, or the other way round. The second connection is one of shade. If you spray the rubber tire bands and the tracks in the same color, the running gear merges into a single dark mass and the mask loses its work — so pitch the tire bands a little differently from the tracks, to keep them distinguishable. The last point is the order of the metal wear: put the polished metal on the running surface of the tracks and on the edges of the tire bands right at the very end, after the weathering, or dust and mud will suppress it.
Prime the wheels, press the mask down around the circumference and spray thin coats square from above. Take the mask off once the paint has flashed off, and assemble the running gear only from finished parts.
This is a masking accessory, not a kit. Paints, thinner and the target kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
