So, I’ve got my Jagdpanzer E-100 â€" or rather: the bottom half of it â€" to the point where it’s almost ready to be painted.
But how to do it...?
Each side has eight interleaved roadwheels. I could mount these on the tank before painting, but that would make it quite difficult to get to all the details â€" particularly on the innermost wheels. Or I could paint them each individually before mounting them, but that would possibly â€" unless I’m real careful with the masking â€" cover the surfaces that will later be used to glue the roadwheels to the suspension. And, to make matters worse, it would also force me to paint, or at least undercoat, the rubber-tracks before mounting them as I can’t undercoat them while mounted on the already painted roadwheels.
So, just out of sheer curiosity: how do you guys paint interleaved roadwheels?
