Have you looked on Aliexpress?

AliExpress does not have proper parts!

Hello, try using this address "info@rctank.de", they usually reply within 24 hours.

I've done the conversion from Early tiger to late using Tamiya King Tiger parts. Back in the day, you could get the metal KT wheels and sprues from Tamiya. I made my own wheel hubs from plastic and used the bronze Tamiya RC car bearings. The commanders cupola was from Tamiya KT. You might be able to find a cheap KT donor tank. Late tracks used to be available to fit the Tam Tiger1.

I have one of these to do too.
With flash-as suspension & steel wheels.
Impact set up I think.
I’m a long way off starting it yet

I’ve done an early to a mid, it’s in the for sale section if you want to see the photos.

A late has a few other details added, like the armoured turret ring, steel wheel etc. You can make the Taigen metal steel wheels fit.

"I've decided to build the Mid Production version because working on the Late Production road wheels seems too difficult. Keep up the great work!"
