Aaah, cool. Was not worried so much about visibility as alignment of the wheels... but that was thinking it's a ridge!

Actually, that is more of a "ditch".  No ridge there.  I think the flash from the camera makes it look like that.

I was going to see how much of it will be visible after dry fitting the wheels before I decide whether to putty it in or not.

Good start Jason.

If I may say something.... I'm not sure how the dry fitting went on the rear wheel, but try to remove the mold line on  the brake surface, which is quite visible on the rear. It won't really be visible, but I'm suspecting it might make it harder to get your wheels themselves properly aligned and "squared up" if you fit them over that little ridge.

Wheels themselves look very nice - good luck with those wheel decals!

OK, this is my first attempt at adding images to a post.  This is my Revell 1:24 Red Bull RB8 work in process.  Many thanks to you all for the tips on the tire decaling.  I hope to start that shortly.  Hope you enjoy the pics!

This kit does not offer the option of removable body panels, so I am not painting much of the engine.  Just what might be seen through the few openings there are in the body.
