The Quickwheel 1:35 masking set for the wheels of the Jeep Willys MB field car is for the Tamiya kit. It serves to separate the tire from the rim; it is not a model.

A masking set for painting the wheels of the light Willys MB field car in 1:35 scale. The set holds no building parts: the masks stick onto finished wheels and separate the tire from the rim while spraying. It is cut for the Jeep Willys MB kit from Tamiya.
The Willys is the exception in this whole range: instead of dozens of small road discs it has four large individual wheels and a spare stowed on the body at the rear. The spare wheel is the most on show of all — it sits in a vertical plane, right in the line of sight of a display case, and anyone who paints it differently from the other four spoils the whole model. The tires have a pronounced off-road tread with a coarse pattern that carries right over the shoulder of the tire, so the border between rubber and rim does not lie on a smooth surface but tight against relief. The rim on the Willys is fairly large and clearly visible; on some forms it is painted in the same shade as the body, on others not — and that is exactly why it helps to have the edge certain and straight. Do not forget that one model means five wheels, not four.
A tire with a coarse tread should look genuinely matte, far more so than the rest of the vehicle. The surest way is to lay the rubber shade on in two thin coats and let it dry down to an utterly dead matte; if your paint dries to satin, finish with matte varnish on the tires alone, not on the whole wheel. The relief of the tread can then be picked out with a dry brush a shade lighter, and with pigment rubbed into the recesses if you like. The rim, by contrast, will take noticeably more shine, especially when you paint it in the same shade as the body. Keep the thinning moderate: paint that is too thin runs into a coarse tread and fills it, while paint that is too thick rounds the relief off.
This is a masking set, not a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
