How To: Detail Model Tires and Modelhaus Tires

[@PontiacBanker]

I find that different sized sockets make a great way to mount tires for sanding. 1/2” is perfect for the Salvinos JR racing tires.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

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

[@boholde2757]

Sockets from a 1/4” drive socket set.

[@CrappyBuilder]

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

[@daviddarby6986]

Those circle templates are great. I've done whitewalls the same way. I didn't know they made the Gelly Roll pens in other colors.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Thanks.

[@user-ThomReec8587]

I use 1/4 drive deep sockets usually 7/16, 10mm attached to a short extension in my cordless Ryobi drill

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

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

[@rmxrider20032000]

It seems nowadays round2 has the pad printed stuff and Revells are just smooth sided. Granted most of my collection is old kits, always left them black wall because I was always trying to use enamels appreciate the insight. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Some of the newest Revell are pad printed also!

[@MrModelworx]

Thanks for this video Raoul, showing all the Modelhaus tyres with the numbers is extremely helpful.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

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

[@MrModelworx]

@@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.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Nice job on the small,fine details!! If I ever get building again I'll try to remember some of these tips...

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Thank you!

[@jerrycole4400]

Thank you very much for your video on how you do your tires. Great Builds on your Models

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Glad you like them!

[@markforster6457]

Use an ordinary socket from a socket wrench set. You should be able to find a size match for your tires. Harbor Freight and Home Depot have what you need to put in your drill. Thanks for your videos!

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Thanks for the tip!

[@neiljumpinjackflash7551]

Super tutorial! The only tip I could share is using Tamiya Rubber, it works great. Thanks!

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

I’m not familiar with Tamiya Rubber.

[@neiljumpinjackflash7551]

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

[@CaptSpeirsB744]

Thanks again for a great inspiring video. What do you use to clean the mold release off the tires with before painting? Have you tried Acrylic paint pens like Posca?

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

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

[@YoPhiladelphia]

Great video! Any idea which Modelhaus tires fit on newer Revell wheels (specifically in the 68 Firebird?). The AmT redline tire parts pack tires have too big an opening for the Revell wheels. The Revell opening is 9/16” and I need some redlines for the Firebird. I had trouble with the redline decals and my JellyRoll attempt didn’t look good enough.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

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.

[@Dirks_NUMA_Files]

You make it look so easy

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

Thanks. Have done many tires!

[@chassegallerie2910]

That's cool. I have a gel pen myself, but this brand seems to be working better on vinyl than the one I have. Gonna try to remember the name, or, I can always come back to this vid. As for it not rubbing off with handling, I know that Chris, at HPIguysworkshop put some matt clear on his tires after the gel ink dries on the tires.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

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.

[@johnnyscruggs7011]

We're do you get the tire rule.

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

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

[@j_bird27]

Where did you buy the white gel paint pens and what size did you get them? Any help would be cool, thank you!

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

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

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

[@curtismalone583]

I don't see anything in the modelhaus link for the scale sizes for their tires and wheels ?

[@TheMuscleCarModeler]

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.

[@curtismalone583]
