"Removing seams from roadwheels the Jakko way." Thanks for the shout-out 🙂
Though TBH, I find it takes about as long as clamping the wheel in a vice and scraping the seam down — the lathe is less effort but not really a timesaver, IMHO. Could be that's down to my lack of lathing skills, though.

It took a long time but it's fun. Not every day I get to use a lathe.

As the kit is missing many parts, l will try 3d printing / scratchbuilding the missing parts. My resin printer isn't a very good one so it can be hard to get things to print correctly.

Quick tip: you don't need to take photos of your screen — press ⇧⌘4 instead 🙂

There is a lot of work to do to remove the supports. I did a quick and dirty pass on one side and it fits perfectly!
I scaled running gear and tracks from a 1:56 stl by 175% to get to 1:32 and it fits properly.

I got the tracks from here: cults3d.com/en/3d-mo..early-prod-july-1941

All missing parts 3d printed by upscaling from 1:56 to 1:32. Suspension and tracks won't be glued on til after painting. Same with radio antenna as I'll just break it off if I add it now.
