1986 Honda NSR500

Post by superquadro »

Hello.

I have just started with scale modelling.
As i am a huge motorcycle fan i want to build scale motorcycles.
A local hobbyshop had a discount on Tamiya 1:12 models, so i bought a few :)

I have just started building on a 1986 Honda NSR500.
Now I have spent about 10 hours painting and building. I was to spray paint the wheels when I made a mistake... I think i just used to much spray, so it did not turn out as i wanted it to.
damn.

I tried to remove the spraypaint.

the front wheel now liks like s#it.

what to do?

Is it possible to buy just new wheels?

Also, i am wondering how to remove the mold in the tires without damaging the looks?

Sorry about the text. This is not my native language. :)

Firstly, hello and welcome
Second don't panic and freak out or you will destroy the wheel
You might want to try soaking it in thinner, paint remover or brake fluid.....carefully and not for too long or it will soften the plastic
Good luck, it happens to us all :crazy:

If the wheel isn't destroyed, then do as Scott as suggested to remove the paint from it :)
