When working on those parts I realized I forgot to post a picture of them... As even one more after market addition to this kit I also acquired WECOHE´s aluminium road wheels. These completely replace Tamiya´s wheels to be assembled from plastic and metal parts by those ready to use one-piece metal wheels.

Tamiya´s kit provided road wheel rubber fits to these aluminium wheels, so after priming and painting them the wheel rubber will come on and the wheels fixed to the swing arms by screws.

These new road wheels got a primer coat of Alclad´s Grey Primer & Microfiller. It took three airbrush sessions to get this far. Drying out in the sun the first coat of Gunze Dunkelgelb (dark yellow) will follow hopefully soon.

Thank you, Adam!

All wheels now have their rubber parts added. More building, priming, and airbrushing on the hull and the turret!
