And this way you'll have a static Tiger tank for the Allied tanks to pratice their shooting skills. ;)

Interested in this mod, as my idle wheel brackets are coming away from the hull (KV-1) any chance you can explain how you did it?

This is how I fixed the problem on my hl kv-1 tank!
Its a much simpler idea than the idler adjuster and ok for some one with less modeling skills(like myself)

I simply added 2 blocks of plastic and screwed them in place with screws at the front of the chasis.
I than added longer screws for the wheels so that they also went into the plastics blocks.
This way each wheel is secured in place by 2 screws and thus take the pressure away from the weak point.

The pictures pretty much explain the fix.
