Last night i was looking over an Eduard 1/72 scale DR1 that i just received,and i noticed in the instructions for the wheel mask a note which said never paint the tires black.It went on to say that ww1 tire were never black,they were tans or grays.Ithought this was very interesting,and something i'd never thought about.So here i go again asking more questions.Was there a predominate color for tires?Was the statement in the instructions even correct?
