1:24 P-1 Racing 16 Inch

P-1 Racing 16 inch 1:24 (Aoshima)

This is NOT a model of a car but an add-on wheel set in 1:24 scale from the range of tuning parts of the Japanese company Aoshima. It offers four sixteen-inch sports wheels in the P-1 Racing style, popular on compact and light cars of the Japanese scene. Wheels of a smaller diameter suit a sporting and retro approach to a build.

What the set contains

The set typically contains four plastic wheels, four rubber tires, poly caps for fitting and a sheet of decals. The mounting is designed for the usual Japanese car kits in 1:24 scale, and on some models a small change to the axle comes in handy.

Fitting and painting tips

The spoked design of the wheel stands out once the fine lines and the center of the wheel are brought out. The tires can be knocked back to matte and lightly weathered with dust. Apply the decals onto a degreased surface and seal them with a clear coat compatible with the base.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building sporting and compact Japanese cars
• Those looking for smaller, race-tuned wheels
• Collectors of tuning parts in 1:24 scale
• Builders willing to fine-tune the wheel mounting

The set contains only the wheels and tires, not a whole model. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
