1:24 Rims - Nori D20 15 inches

Nori D20 rims fifteen inches in diameter in 1:24 scale

This is not a model of a car and not a kit, but a set of rims from Decalcas for modelers who want to change the wheels on a 1:24 scale project for one particular type. The Nori D20 marking and the fifteen-inch size come straight from the name of the product.

Where fifteen-inch wheels come in

Fifteen inches was the common size on production and competition cars alike for decades, before diameters started to grow. That is why the set does not aim at a single car but at a whole group of builds: rally machines of the 1970s and 1980s, touring cars, or conversions where a modeler is looking for a different wheel look than the base package offers. The choice of rim changes the character of a model more than most other small alterations.

Working with the set

Before you reach for paint, make sure the parts are not greasy, or the shade will take badly on a smooth surface. A rim looks convincing when the face and the lip are set apart by the degree of gloss, not only by tone. Even out small imperfections around the circumference with fine wet sandpaper, because the circumference is the most visible part of a wheel. Seat the wheel dry before fixing it and check how it comes out against the wheel arch and the track of the car.

Who the set suits

• Builders of rally and touring cars in 1:24 scale
• Modelers who want to set a model apart with a different choice of wheel
• Anyone interested in the period when fifteen-inch wheels dominated
• Those building conversions and looking for accessories beyond the base package

The set is an accessory, not a model of a car. Paints and glues are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
