RC Panzer IV ?

Post by Fritzkrieg » Mon Oct 26, 2009 4:17 pm

I recently aquired a Tri-Color Panzer IV, but the wheels have some sort of pinkish fleshtone paint on them. Was this the resut of bad weathering paint aps, or perhaps some sort of glue. My first thought was that someone had spiled some sort of strawberry beverage on the tank, but I could not remove the stuff, with soap and water. Any ideas?

I seem to remember the Pz. IV RC that I once owned had the same sort of pinkish hue on the roadwheels, it was very subtle as I recall though. Could you post a pic...?? If yours is worse, perhaps you just got stuck with a really bad example of this phenomenon, probably the only thing you could do to correct it would be paint them.

Here's a pic

The camera flash washes it out a bit, but it's the color of pink cotton candy.
