The accent color on this build is that Tamiya LP Pure Orange. So I also painted the chassis and the wheels the same orange as the engine.

The wheels and tires are also 3D printed parts from Iceman Collections. They are 16" Artillery wheels 7" wide in the front. 10" wide in the rear. And the tires are Firestone Wide Whitewalls. I sanded the sidewalls and the hubcaps smooth. The painted the tires Splash Rubber Black.. The whitewalls are actually seperate pieces so no masking required. I painted the whitewalls an off-white that I came up with. It is mostly Tamiya XF Flat White, with a couple drops of Brown and Yellow in there. All Tamiya XF colors. Then I clear coated the whitewalls with semi-gloss clear from Mr Hobby.

And the smoothed hubcaps are painted with SMS Hyperchrome.

You can't see it in this pic, but I am using a 3D printed drop axle beam in the front, from Iceman Collections. And the rear axle is a quick change unit, also 3D printed from Iceman. The front beam, and center housing of the rear axle are chromed with SMS Hyperchrome. Rear axle tubes are the same Tamiya LP Pure Orange as the engine and chassis.

Sorry, this is a potato cam pic. Very bad quality.
