Modeling query regarding Primaris biker Chaplain

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

I’m having issues with the front wheel assembly following the instructions and am thinking it would be better just to assembly the front wheel with fenders then attach to the spokes. Any good advice is much appreciated.

Just had a quick look at the Instructions as a refresher. What I did was fully assemble the front wheel, then glue it in place as I glued the two main pieces together.

Thanks Grotsmasha !!! :)

I actually assembled mine differently. I like to do sub-assemblies and paint them before final assembly. This is particularly useful on models like a bike where lots of parts end up behind the rider's legs which makes it hard to paint them properly. I did this by assembling and painting the wheels first. I then primed the two halves of the bike body to make sure you don't get glimpses of unpainted plastic showing under the wheel arches.

Then I glued the front wheel to one half of the bike body and the back wheel to the other half. This meant I could paint all the fiddly bits more easily and just glue the two half-assemblies together at the end. It is actually pretty easy to do and the description sounds more complicated than it actually is. The finished model came out quite nicely.
