Wheel assembly

Some modifications were made to the wheel assemblies to simplify wheel removal later on during servicing and maintainance. Detail was also added to the basic kit parts and fastener sizes were changed and added where needed to achieve the look of a real late Tiger's road wheels.

The drive sprockets are very nice as they are and only required adding some factory cast lettering to them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The road wheels required some detailing especially on the center hub caps. Three cuts were added to represent the locking plates on the real wheels as well as the center bolts and locking tab.
