Guys, any advice to deal with this Voyager set?:

Is the detailing set for Tamiya bicycle
I tried twice to glue the parts to detail the wheels, but...no way, the spokes twist, well, the entire wheel twist, I can't make striaght wheels :evil:

Thanks in advance

Dario,

I have no experience with this stuff, but can you clamp the wheels before you add the PE? Maybe this will allow you to install the spokes?

Good luck....Paul

I seem to remember reading that one could use the front wheel on one of Dragon 250 kits as a form to shape the Aber spokes for the Tamiya bike. Maybe it would work for Voyager?.
