How To: Detail Model Tires and Modelhaus Tires 

Thanks! I had not thought of that and I have many sockets!

Sockets from a 1/4” drive socket set.

Aw man! You stole my invention! 😁 Just kiddin.

That’s a good way to sand the tread. Thanks!

Thanks 👍!

Here is what I use to strip paint. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GgtdhoqcMLw.html

My pleasure! It's funny but I was working on this video (research) when you mentioned you needed tires for your Grand Prix.

@@TheMuscleCarModeler I ordered some of those tyres this week, look forward to getting them..... It'll take a while to get across the pond lol.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Some of the newest Revell are pad printed also!

Thanks. Have done many tires!

Glad you like them!

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, you too!

I’m not familiar with Tamiya Rubber.

@@TheMuscleCarModeler It is a rattle can spray made by Tamiya.

Thanks 👍

Thank you!

Thanks, you too!

Thanks. I bought new pens about a year ago because they didn't seem to work as well as they used to. I do think they age and the new ones are the same brand and work way better. I may have to try the flat clear but I do the tires last and once mounted I try not to touch them.

Thanks!

Thank you!

I have been thinking about getting one.

Thank you for the suggestion. I had been asked a few times for this!

Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you! I missed that!

Thank you!

@@TheMuscleCarModeler your welcome

Thank you! They work great!

Thanks for watching!

Glad you liked it!

Welcome!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Most of the time I just wipe off the tires and don't really wash them.

Thanks for watching!

You are so welcome!

Thank you!

Thanks! This is a hard question to answer. The Revell 68 Firebird has a weird wheel set up. The outer wheel is a bit small, and it fits inside the wheel back. The kits tire is hollow. I have not built that kit yet, but I have three of them. I took one out and tried some of my Modelhaus Red line tires. Try # 545 red for this one. www.modelhaustires.com/collection/545-red It fits the outer wheel nicely and the overall tire size is nice for the Firebird body. The wheel back will need to be slimmed down to fit inside this tire. That should be pretty easy to do. This is what I would do or find other wheel backs that will work from the parts box.

Sorry, Not much help there. Try Fireball Modelworks. He does some tires as well. fireballmodels.info/

Glad it was helpful!

I got it at Hobby Lobby. It’s a Circle Template Stencil.

I got mine from Hobby Lobby.

I got them at Hobby Lobby and I also got some from Micheals.

Thank you and no I haven't.

You may have to email them. If you click on each tire. There is a description but most don’t help much. For me, I have bought a few and try them on my projects. I also keep a list of what I bought and what I used it on. That helps me for future builds.

I was thinking of contacting them thanks

Check with your local craft store. Micheal’s or Hobby Lobby.

Thanks!

I like how you worded that! Thanks!

Usually at a craft store. I have seen some at Hobby Lobby but got mine at Micheal's.

I'm not sure what you mean? If I mess up a paint job. I'll just strip it and start over or throw it in the box!

@@TheMuscleCarModeler it was my first one a 1971 Plymouth hemi cuda 426 and I messed up and want it to be as good as I can get it

@@ventgoblin8080 you can strip it with Castrol Super Clean, soak it for a few days, scratch it up if clear coated, enamel comes off easier than lacquer does

@@garyslentzii2796 where can you find that and how much is it because I have brake fluid and it isn't working that well so I have been using sand paper and I don't know what grit it is

@@ventgoblin8080 . . Any parts store like Pep Boys, Auto Zone, Advance Auto, it is in a Purple bottle, about $8.00, last time I got it it was BOGO deal. You will hear guys saying purple power or the purple pond, zip it up in plastic bag and put in a container. Can be reused over and over

Yes!
