How to modify models?

[standfree93]

I've seen some models sold on ebay that have been resprayed and modified.

Just wanted to know how to change the wheels?

And also respray the models?

Changeing the wheels depends on what brand it it. Some wheels just pull off & some are screwed on.

With resprays, you can either rub down and paint over the orignal paint or use nitromors (only on metal as it melts plastic) to strip the orignal paint off and start again.

Heres a few of mine that ive modified (all 1/18)


















Any question, im more than happy to help.

I've noticed that on some of my smaller scaled models the screw is different from others...
