The left side frame mounted items and the front axle were built and installed last night. Fit was good.
Next up are 7 tire and wheel assemblies... greg

After a few days of cutting and diverting my attention to some lesser known sports (in the USA) - read rugby seven...I got some construction done on the tires and wheels.
I got one front wheel done. Fit was not ideal on the rim parts and I had to do some creative parts modification and build sequencing to get an acceptable result. Hoping the rear wheel assemblies build up smoother... Greg

I took Don's advice: seams on the bottom.
These wheels assembled fine and many of you will probably find them to look good, but I have a marginal happiness with them. Since the tread pattern and tire side wall info is printed on, I did not paint them as I usually do. So there are some errant white marks and shininess to the tires that otherwise would not be there. I may have to dull coat and dirty up the tires to improve them to my satisfaction. I may also have to add some lug nuts. Until then.... Greg

Could you mask off the lettering? Or drybrush?

I like to use black chalk shavings and a brush to push them into the seams. It looks good and you don't have to sacrifice the lettering.

The white tread markings and lugs should have been a color other than white, otherwise the tires look good
