Not made up my mind about the tyres yet,they do look a bit too bright really but I am wary of spoiling them if I attempt it.
Shame they did not supply them with a duller finish.

Looking good. Well done on your build. The tyres are not hard to do, it's just a bit time consuming. I used 1500 grit paper and this is how they came out.  Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029

It's just the natural edge. As Long as you sand them horizontally then this edge will be there naturally. Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029

Thanks for the advice.

Don't be scared about sanding the tires. I actually used a 800 grit I think -- but if you are hesitant, you can start off with a higher grit as to be not as aggressive and work your way down if you feel it not intensive (both physical and time wise!).
