Hi, before you paint too much more, I would suggest taking the pieces off of the spures and assemble them, then paint them. The reason is, as you have done on those engines, when you go to take them off of the spure, there will be a white spot where you cut, and the paint will need another coat. If you are hand brushing the model and not paint-canning it, this changes everything. If I were you, I would repaint those wheels a much flatter black.

Have fun!
