Paint wheels separately and keep the axle contact surfaces clean for a stronger join. If you plan to weather, seal the base coat first, then add a thin wash around hub detail to bring out relief without darkening tire faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II (J\/S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariant \/ Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e F-4 Phantom II family (kit-dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/48 (also written as 1:48)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3D Printed Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType of equipment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e for Italeri\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metallic Details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ukraine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3D-printed resin parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e MDR48251\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis item is part of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metallic-details\"\u003eMetallic Details\u003c\/a\u003e and belongs to \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/aftermarket\"\u003eAftermarket\u003c\/a\u003e.
