Tanktop if you want to be correct as far as the right wheels for the Tiger your modeling these are the two most basic options. The other Mato set are a cheap push on wheel that works with the plastic H/L stock wheels to give the appearance of late model metal wheels.

check out this link for the changes to the Tiger over it's production run, You may have this information but if not it goes back to my pm and which Tiger you are modeling? Cheers Saxondog

Forgot one other option, if someone has a WSN Tiger and have converted to a late model Tiger then the WSN rubber lined wheels can be made to work with the Asiatam hull, these are the early wheels on my Tiger. Saxondog

You may find converting to a mid-late model easier as Early model Tiger wheels are pricey. And that is the major difference. The copula is different, the commander has a machine gun mount on the copula, the air cleaners are not used,depending on the year the single headlamp will apply, grenade launchers were not used in later models and last but certainly not least Zimmerite coating was applied to mid and late models.

The best advice is to use the Alanhamby link on Tigers, they have things well organized and very detailed. I will be here if you need help although others may well have more detailed advice as I focused on early model Tigers for my build. Above all do not waste your money,if you contact Steve@Welshdragon he will tell you which axles you need for the different sets of wheels and I'm sure he would provide you with the other axles if need be.
