MFH 1/12 Wire Wheels Assembly

I have owned a 1985 308 QV for about a year. Before I bought my full-scale Ferrari, I started building a Model Factory Hiro 1/12 scale 1962 GTO. The model is 98% complete and looks absolutely beautiful. However, I stopped working on it when it came to the wheels. I found building the rest of the model challenging, but not beyond my capabilities. Building the spoke wheels is just incredibly tedious and I stopped work because I build models for fun, not to torture myself. One expert model builder estimated that it takes him approximately 2 1/2 hours to build a wheel. If I could stick with it, I think one wheel would take me about 8 hours of excruciating concentration. I have no problem with the instructions. I am used to working with jewelers' magnifying lenses. I have been using CA glue, assuming I would reinforce with epoxy once a wheel is completed. Am I missing something? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks. I knew it would be challenging and, up until the wheels, I was enjoying and meeting the challenges. Perhaps I will have to wait to see if I get really, really bored sometime this winter. But, even at a very healthy 72 years of age, I'm just wondering if life is too short to struggle with four of these things. I'm actually surprised that some enterprising masochist does not sell them, assembled, on eBay. I could be tempted.

 

Fernando does make his own 1/12 GTO wheels, but not the MFH ones. It looks like I will have to tough it out. Thanks for your suggestions.
