Hi heres my cammo design . Its the third on this tank , good old Mr muscle . Can I ask what you used for road wheels . I didnt intend on spending much on this realy as I have the HL Panther G from Dave to do. I bought the resin disks and added the bolt heads to the stock HL wheels and just re positioned them to resemble the Panther . I do have a set of Tamiya Panther G road wheels but no rubber rims or caps.

wheels are standard plastic tiger,sanded down rim on all wheels/drilled all holes for bolt heads/fitted hex rod for bolt heads/fitted resien hub caps+wheel dishes/tapped out metal suspention arms at 4mm/fitted all wheels on 4mm screws/adjusted with washers or trimmed the back off the wheels to fit inline with drive sprockets idles and track.Hope this will help, seen a set of plastic jadpanther wheels and suspention on Forgebears website for about £20.00 thinking of fitting these wheels to my pantiger sould make it look better. :think: :think:
