Ooh shiny wheels update!

Approached Patrick about some new hubs as he had done some for Ralph. A bit of tweaking and they fit the Tamiya King Tiger wheels/bearing perfectly.

Slightly miffed yesterday, best laid plans gone to waste.

I got new KT wheels, Panther 2 hubs and shafts etc.
Taigen KT idler and shafts.
The idlers rub the wheels and shafts not long enough to be caught by the grub screw. Switch the wheel pattern around and they rub the sprocket...

Basically I would need to do the Panther G with steel wheel setup, using Panther tracks but alas I did that one once before.

At least the Panther F cupola and final drive housings fit - thanks to Forgebear for the bits.

Hello Ad Lav,

Have you done anymore finishing work on your JP? Just curious about that beast!

Cheers,
Eric.
