I don’t recall Henntec from back in the day.. I see lots of talk about Henntec idler arm tensioners. I have Daryl Turner made spring loaded idler tensioners on my old Tiger. Was told that Daryl no longer makes tank parts and has gotten out of tanks for the most part..

The Henntec steel wheels,in the link above, look like they are made in a similar fashion to the stock Tamiya King Tiger wheels. That being a stamped aluminum wheel with plastic inserts. Maybe resin inserts on the Henntec. So, Henntec has ceased to exist?
That’s incorrect, the henntec wheels were cnc turned bodies, not stamped like
Tamiya. They also came with bearings.

Christian Ludwig makes many hard to find pieces and obscure vehicle kits.

And the Taigen cupola can be easily made lower to look right on a Tiger.

Google up Chris Ludwig rc tanks & see how you go.
