Aoshima 1/24 Shadow 5 (5H) 14inch No.66 - Styled for custom 1:24 builds

The Aoshima 1/24 Shadow 5 (5H) 14inch No.66 brings a classic wheel shape to your 1:24 projects. These components are produced with clean detail to support paint and modification work, making them a solid choice for hobbyists who like to personalise scale cars. The set integrates well with many static model kits and offers a clear base for custom finishes.

Scale realism and custom options

Shadow 5 (5H) rims reflect traditional wheel design and add character to period or custom models. The 14 inch profile is suitable for recreating vintage stances or for lowrider inspired layouts in dioramas. Their neutral styling gives model builders scope to experiment with colours, finishes and slight detailing mods.

Assembly advice for custom finishes

Work on tyre seating and rim masking early to avoid paint bleed. These parts are ideal for aftermarket paint techniques like metal flakes or two-tone schemes. Small drills and filler can be used to tweak fitment where needed without compromising detail.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Wheel Diameter: 14 inches
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Optional for customization
Yes, the Shadow 5 rims are compatible with many 1:24 bodies. You may need minor trimming or spacer adjustments to achieve the desired track width on heavily modified kits.
Wheel faces are moulded cleanly but require primer and careful preparation for a smooth chrome or polished finish. Use fine sanding and a suitable primer before metallic paints.
Use a plastic model cement that bonds polystyrene parts. Apply sparingly to avoid squeeze-out near detailed rim edges and wipe excess before it sets.
