Note: The wheels on the left are incorrectly assembled. The wheels on the right are correctly assembled.

There are 18 wheels.
Guess how many I got wrong before I got it right?

18? No big deal. But you might want to look into the upgraded bearings as the Kt wheels seem rather sloppy when installed.Listed below are some options, but the newer Tamiya Kits may have upgraded this bushing. MF1 is the part number. But smoother running solid mounting creates less friction, in turn motor works less and battery life is longer.

Track hangers to make, need to borrow some tin snips.
Then if the airbrush is working...... basecoat.

Then put it all together. Fit wheels, fit tracks, I've been visualising this for months.

Impressive build, The track hanger issue was discussed in a recent post? I will try to find a link as I need the same addition to my Henschel King Tiger. Have you considered a unit or do you intend to use the decals and unit markers from Tamiya?

Did the wheels turn out solid? Or do they still have the loose fitting bushings? This has been a problem with the Tamiya King Tigers one they may have resolved?

Are you considering a camo scheme or do you intend to copy the Tamiya color pattern? Sorry for all the questions but the interest in KT is much desired Tank That everyone seems to want. cheers Blake
