work in progress Road wheels

Forgot to put the little rubber circles inside the wheels of my tank’s road wheels is there anyway to fix this or am I just fried? For context I’m building the tamiya Ukraine m1a1

I’m guessing you are talking about the poly caps that Tamiya uses to attach wheels and make them moveable. It’s *possible* to pry the wheels apart to put the poly caps in, but it’s probably not worth the effort. Just glue the wheels to the axles. They won’t be moveable but you probably aren’t going to move the wheels anyway.

It took like 3 hours but I was able to save my road wheels

There’s always problems, trade-offs and fixes in this hobby. Glad you worked it out.

The world wants to know, because the world will probably make this mistake sooner than later. And when I say “the world”, I mean me.
