The character of a car begins with the wheel

Alpina is a German company that builds and modifies cars derived from the production of the BMW make. Its wheels are among the recognizable marks of these cars, and modelers look for them precisely because the plastic wheels from a box tend to be soft in shape and limited in the pattern offered. Swapping the wheels changes the look of a finished model surprisingly markedly: it places the car in the right time and gives it the appearance of a particular form, without your laying a hand on the body.

Fitting to the model

• Put the wheel on dry first and check whether the axle pin matches the hole in the hub.
• Widen the hole carefully as needed, so that the wheel seats perpendicular and turns freely.
• Check whether the tire does not rub against the arch and whether the track matches the body.
• Cut the excess material away with a sharp blade a little from the part and sand the remainder down.
• Wash and degrease the parts before painting, and only then lay down the paint.
• Put the tire on the wheel dry and check whether it sits all the way around.
