 Re: 1/16 Wittmann road wheels !!!
Hello Schwarz...
I have the FOV 1/16 Wittmann Tiger '007' and I think that the layout of the roadwheels is correct. I've been checking carefully against pictures in various 'Tiger' books and FOV have got it right for the later, steel-tyre wheel equipped Tigers such as were used in Normandy. ( Earlier, rubber-tyred Tigers had the wheels fitted differently ).
The model still isn't 100%, I'm afraid - the rear idler wheel sits a little too high ( rather like on a Tiger II ) so the tracks don't quite sit properly. This is by far the biggest fault on the model ( I think the turret roof should be raised a little, but quite honestly you'd hardly notice this one ).
I still love the model though - it looks just amazing on display ! |
