About product

Wheels for the Fiat 508 in 1:35 scale, the cross-country pattern

An add-on set of wheels in cast resin for models of the Fiat 508 light military car in 1:35 scale. This variant carries a cross-country tread pattern, while the sister set carries the commercial pattern.

What a cross-country pattern reveals on a model

A coarse cross-country tread with pronounced transverse blocks was given to vehicles that drove on field tracks, in sand and in mud. On a model it is therefore not merely a different definition of the rubber but also a pointer for the whole scene: muddy fenders, tracks in the ground and dust in the panel gaps all belong with wheels like these. If you are building a vehicle into a winter or a colonial diorama, a cross-country pattern makes sense of the scene. A car parked on paving in front of a headquarters building, by contrast, will be more convincing on the commercial pattern.

The real subject

The Fiat 508 was an Italian light passenger car of the 1930s which in military form was used as a liaison and staff vehicle; another European country produced it under license as well, and that is where its spread among modelers comes from. These are small wheels with a narrow tire, so the mold parting line and the gate marks show on them unpleasantly well.

Tips for working it

Wash the castings with detergent, cut the casting block off with a saw and level the mating surface on abrasive paper laid on a flat board. With small wheels it is worth gluing with gel cyanoacrylate and standing the model level while the glue sets, so that the car does not end up standing on three wheels. Bring the pattern out with a dry brush and put pigment into the grooves, or it will disappear under the paint.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers of light military subjects in 1:35 scale.
  • Builders of dioramas with off-road surroundings.
  • Anyone who wants a sharp pattern with no mold parting line even on small wheels.

FAQ

The cross-country one for a vehicle in a muddy or sandy scene, the commercial one for a car on a made-up road. The scene you are building decides.

Check the contents of the package on the packaging, especially if you need the spare.

Changing the wheels is among the simpler modifications. Just reckon with resin being cut with a saw and glued with cyanoacrylate.
