Looks delicious, my friend @chinesegeorge!

Having had my lunch, and scrubbed up the tyres, to paraphrase our outgoing prime minister “let’s get the wheels done”. The wheels are finished in gloss black with red pinstripes around the rims. The wheels are moulded in black so I gave them a quick coat of gloss, and then mounted the tyres.

Here I’ve applied all the transfers to the wheels and brushed a coat of Tamiya gloss clear to protect them, added a splash of silver to the air valves, and job done, not perfect but OK, I think.

Great tyres, George @chinesegeorge
Having the tyres on prior to decalling seems the best approach.

George, those wheels look like business! And yep - transfers it was, so do keep on using the term @chinesegeorge. They used to be called the same, directly translated in danish, but nowadays most people call them decals, even in danish.

One of the things I don’t like about these Tamiya kits is the way the front mudguards are moulded in two parts, no matter how good the fit, you always end up with a seam to eliminate.

Anyway, I’ve applied some homemade filler, and will try sanding it down when it has fully cured. One thing I wanted to try on this build was using a yellow primer to make the red pop a bit more. On the standard road bike the mudguard is black, or, carbon fibre, but on this version it’s red with a white stripe.
