Global Scale Modeller

I have a few trucks that I will be building over the year from Italeri, Revell and Miniart. All the paint instructions says to paint the road tyres "Black". What is the best "Black" to use for the tyres?

Tony.

Tamiya "Nato black" or "black rubber".

I like the Vallejo black grey.

Tamiya or mr hobby tyre black are my favourites

I like Tamiya's Rubber Black

I use Tamiya XF-85 rubber black but it is the only one I tried so far here is a pic of the paint on my B-25 wheels

Get a bit of Ultimate concrete wash in those rims and in the tyre treads and your sorted

Looks like it will be Tamiya as I can get that locally to me.

The Ultimate washes are on the wish list

I use Revell Matt 9 Anatrachite

That's great to know about the Ultimate concrete!! I wouldn't have even thought about that!! Is there anywhere I can find other awesome uses?! lol
Like a 'cheat sheet' for the washes?

Thanks!!
