Those look great. It is a PIA task on navy birds.

Excellent idea Chris - that worked well.

The nose wheels on this kit are pretty fun to clean up. Not only is there a ton of flash and ejector pins to deal with, but the mold halves did not quite line up, so there is a positive or negative step to the tread depending on where you are looking. After fixing them, it's a good idea to check if both wheels are the same size. Looks like one needs to go back on to the rotary tool and sanded down some more.

Yikes! Nice work on cleaning them up.

What he said!

You know someone's serious when the callipers come out! It actual fact for a twin wheeled leg, that's not a bad idea. I do hate it when a build doesn't sit squarely on it's wheels.

Superb work Chris.

Wow! Those wheels look ugly. I can't be bothered with that crap.
