1:35 508 CM Coloniale wheel set

508 CM Coloniale wheel set 1:35 (SBS Model)

This resin wheel set in 1:35 scale from SBS Model is intended for detailing a model of the Italian light military car the Fiat 508 CM Coloniale. It is an accessory, not a complete model. The cast resin wheels replace the parts from the base kit and bring a more faithful texture of the tires and of the rims.

The real subject

The Fiat 508 CM Coloniale was an Italian light military car derived from the civilian Balilla line and adapted for service in colonial and desert settings. Vehicles of this type served the Italian army above all in North Africa and in the Mediterranean during the Second World War.

Building and painting tips

Wash the mold release residue off the resin parts, cut off the casting blocks and clean up the surfaces with respiratory protection. Bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate). It is worth painting the wheels separately before assembly; bring the tires out with a matte color and a fine dust shade for a realistic effect.

• Builders of Fiat 508 CM Coloniale models in 1:35 scale
