Progress of a Custom - Wheels On

Here you can see the wheels installed on our custom 7930. I purposely left the front wheel hubs green because I am going to cover them with a realistic looking wheel center section. I am also going to paint the brass axles in the back yellow. I usually paint the axle ends black but in the literature (which also doubles as the background in this shot) it shows mostly yellow ends with a small amount of green in the center. You also can see the ladder which was painted separately and the freshly painted cab top. I can't stress this enough (can you hear me Ertl), paint you cab tops. It looks glossy and makes the tractor much more attractive.
