Takom made a big boo-boo on the hub covers for the Rhino wheels- the holes provided for the tire valves don't actually line up with the valves when you use the attachment points Takom created...better modelers than I filled the incorrect spot for the hole and then drilled new ones. I am not that person

I removed Takom's pegs, and then just glued the covers directly to the hub with the hole aligned correctly

There may be a very slight difference in height- since I basically removed a half mm- but at least you can now see the valve through the hole...although not in the pic I took

I will take another later...

Also started work on Airfix's newer Defiant for an RAF anniversary build....so before I start spraying interior gray green

The Hobbico review is kinda doubtful, at this time. LOL Batman looks cool! Rhino looks mean. Who made the Toyota kit? I might like to build one of those.

Got a second for my Tuskegee Mustang-

And my wrecker got 1st in trucks...

First time entering a show and it was pretty cool!

Excellent stuff everyone!!

Used some Wilder textured mud on the base for Batman- pretty happy with it...

Added some of the same to the body of the Rhino...tires are next...

While that was all drying, I took my Toyota and FT-17 builds back out...
