Good Day Folks!

Quick question, what color should I use on the spokes of this motorcycle? I does not state what color to paint them.

Thanks in advance,

Good Day Folks!

I have another question, what color should I use for the muffler, and tail pipe?

Thanks in advance,

Rust tones,. I use a bark brown and then just a lighter tone and sponge that on, make your you dap the spong on tissue to take off the excess paint or you will have mess

Good Day Folks!

I am struggling with finishing off my projects, here's what I have so far, and I am not too happy with it. This is just the early stage, I am going to attempt touching up the mistakes, add the washes, and some weathering, soon as I can afford to place an order with AK. Don't get me wrong, I am having a blast building armor, and I am going to keep at the finishing process, trying different techniques until I get a process down that looks good to me.

This might help you Steven: www.worldinscale.de/homepage%20bilder5/bi5,18/gal5,18.html
For the rubber parts I use Vallejo's Panzer Aces 'Old Rubber' usually over a black base.
If that's the Tamiya kit you've got, bear in mind that the exhaust down-pipes are missing (the curved bits that go from the cylinders to the collector/balance pipe in front of the frame)
Hope this helps.
