900R20 NDT Tires Rims Hubs HO

This is a set of hubs, rims and tires for a 900R20 military nondirection tread as found under most M35 and M35 variant military trucks to include the CCKW 2.5 ton truck that predated the M35 series, along with many trailers.

This file includes 12 tires, 6 convex rims with lug nuts, 7 concave rims with lug nuts, 4 concave rims without lugnuts, and 5 convex rims without lug nuts.  These rims may be used in any arrangement for up to four axles with 12 total tires.

This file is setup to include spare rims for either concave or convex fitting to where it sets on the vehicle.  The rim lip is set up to go outwards towards the viewable surface so that the gap is hidden inside the model between the tire and the frame.

To paint these pieces, separate the trees and paint the hubs, rims and tires separately from each other.  Once one side is painted, remove the parts from the trees with some flushcut dykes, lightly sand the parts where the trees were attached, and affix the painted side to some light duty scotch tape or gentle masking tape (painter's tape) to hold them to a card or board.  Paint the remaining side.

The hubs and rimes are separat to make it easy to paint the rims a different color than the hubs; the tires are further separate to facilite the use of airbrush or spray paint with ease.

When finished, use 1.0 mm wire to make axles to length; use a #61 drillbit to clean the axle holes, widen with a #60 only if the axle will not fit be careful not to remove too much material.  Ue glue if the hole gets too big.
