Tires and spare done! I used Testors rubber and faded olive drab for rims. The rest of the vehicle will be faded olive drab as well.

They look good Tom! I've been using the AK pens - rubber for tires. Really helps with aircraft tires.
Thanks,

I made my own circle mask (blue painter tape) to cover the rims with a bladed compass. Found it easier to cut circles sticky side up. Had to make a slightly larger circles for the front tires due to center nub. The rims were paint faded olive drab first before the rubber black.

That's looking really cool - not your normal Jeep! (not that there's anything wrong with normal Jeeps mind you).
Wheels and tyres look great!

Decals are on!
Next, flat clearcoat, paint minor areas, then weathering. The .50 cal will be the very last item to install.after weathering.
