Then I use the stick to find a best match. I am often successful. All the best, it is a nice set and worth maintaining. Kimball

I'd recommend Revell 32330 Fiery Red, satin RAL 3000. You want to use an enamel for the wheels and you can carefully brush it on without disassembly.

When requartering wheels and the centre axle end gets slightly marked, touches up so well. Regards David
