Hi Pete,
How about replacement track sponsons for the Pz III, Stug III & Pz IV that have the correct pattern and aren't excessively thick.
By the way, tankzone do sell spare wheels for the Pz IV but they are £5.00 each

!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers
John

Hi There had another thought
Bulldog metal suspension /Metal wheels
Pershing Metal suspension /metal wheels
Jagdpanther metal suspension
British tank crew sorry the Americans didnt win the war single handed (we were fighting 2years 3months before them)

hi,
im all in for the metal pershing parts!!
i recon there should be scurzen made from aluminium (cant spell lol

) for the pz3 and jagdpanther, i have seen resin bits but im afraid id break them rather quicklly!!
i think also somebody should make cheaper t-81 and t-84 pershing tracks, the ones currently on the market are on for a hidious bankrupting price
cheers,
Matt

I'd like to see metal suspension arms & drive wheels for the WSN T34 (and cheaper metal tracks too).
Metal PZIV wheels with rubber tyres. A proper PZIV gun mantlet - or perhaps a completely revamped turret with all the inaccuracies removed.
Early Panther (D & A) conversion kits - would've saved me and tailend charlie a heck of a lot of time and hassle.
Cheers
Chris

As far as I am aware, Flat. Here is another link.

The first link along with this one is taken from 1/35 scale models. In the latter, there is a picture of an actual guard. They would need to be scaled up to 1/16. I have heard from other people on the forum that the HL Tigers turret is not the correct shape ? I dont know how much of an issue that would be when fitting a TRG.
Here is a picture/Drawing of the guard, with escape hatch variations ( Taken from the modellers guide to the Tiger Tank by Patrick A Stansell ).

if you take a look at tiger205s tiger build he did a h/long tirret and put it next to a tamiya turret and the 2 differences are the offset on the h/long ring and the stowage bin needs to be cut off and repositioned

how high do you think on the turret ring maybe 2mm??
