I am getting ready to assemble 2 Zvezda Early Tiger 1s. Do any of you know of wheel masks that would fit this tank? I have looked for model specific and, so far, no luck. Thanks so much!

Voyager make some wheel mask out of PE . So does alliance model works , check them out . You could make your own , get a caliper and measure the wheels then you can purchase drill bits and sheet plastic stock and make your own .

Or rather than making your own you could buy a piece of plastic that has a bunch of holes pre-drilled in it from an art store (it's for drawing). Walmart or Target, etc. probably have some too.

J's Works has a tiger mask set that should include the wheel masks.

I have seen vinyl masks but I don't remember who made them.

But sometimes the wheels are an odd size and the store bought circular templates are not the same size .
