With that done, I made some damages to the rubber ring of the wheels, had seen that on a couple of builds, thought it looked really nice, so decided to use that trick to, and added the wheels to the tank
Nice job Bert. I always seem to be needing to add bolts or rivets to a kit. Sometimes because they were missing from the kit as in your case or because I have cut or sanded part of them away. There are 4 sets ( I think) of those rivets and bolts and they were one of the better purchases I have made.
Yes,I used the 0.8, and I noticed it on the picture, didnt even see it when gluing them, so I replaed that one, and than checked ther rest, replaced another 3…
Yeah I did pretty much the same thing on mine. It was only when I checked them with a magnifier that I saw my mistake. Probably why they jumped out at me.

You’re omitting the 6 bolts around the hub caps which need to be replaced as they are too flat and ill-placed for some of them and the 6 tiny ones on the hub cap.
Bert
Don’t forget to add the hub lubrication point and its protections.
Bert, the wheels look great. The work will pay off when it’s all finished.
I started some work today on the Mirages ejection seat. First job, the firing handles using a home made jig I made for this very purpose years ago.
It’s nothing pretty. Just a piece of scrap wood with two of the thinnest nails I could find banged into it and the heads trimmed off.
Interesting and nice idea Stephen, I may have to borrow that idea.
Guy’s some interesting things going on here, as mainly a ship and aircraft person the wheelie and trackie things are interesting to watch how you guys tackle the build and detailing.
