Hey guy,
While I am waiting for the some parts for the AAVP to come in, I started the Trumpeter T-62. I gotta say this model is awesome. The products that trumpeter produce are top notch, and look forward to building more of them.
I have started working on all the drive wheels. Everything is detached, sanded, and ready for primer then paint. The one thing that I have run into so far is the "rubber outer rim. What is the best way to remove the sprue attachment points on the plastic "rubber" outer rim? I have been studying forums and pictures for a solution but can not find one. A part of me just wants to sand off all the detail because when everything is weathered I feel they wont be seen, but just cant bring myself to remove them.
Some box art to help with what model I am working on.
This is what the rims look like.
Does anyone have an easy solution?
Thanks for any help.
Jason
