Can anyone tell me how to clean up rubber tyres, they appear to have a weird film on them and I'm not sure how to clean them.
I have a very strange case with those: I built a Dragon 9P148 (“BRDM-2 with AT-5 Spandrel”) and a Revell BRDM-2, which is a rebox of the Dragon model, not long after. The two have been standing on the same shelf side by side — literally a centimetre apart — for maybe twenty years, and all four tyres on the 9P148 have split but those on the BRDM-2 are all still fine.Personally I hate those hard shinny 'rubber' tyres. I find that in the right (or is it wrong) conditions they can actually breakdown or even melt to the base they are on.
