Don't know Tom, I got this kit off Dr Steinman a while back. I really haven't look inside this much. It's the Royal sets 1 and 2 so maybe you know what's in there.

Think I will start this when I complete the Sherman which is very, very close.

This should be good, got a good supply of burn ointment on hand ? I love the German names for these things Panzerspahwagen sounds like a transport the tankers used to get from the front to the spa for some R&R

Panzerspähwagen could be translated as Armored Scout[or recce] Car.
Panzerspähwagen is more or less pronounced as Panzerspeywagen.

Doesn't appear that fenders are included, but plenty other stuff to keep you busy...

I had the idea to build a SturmTiger once, with a lift off top.

When you look inside there is a hot tub!

Well that begs the question, are they replacement wheels and fenders for this kit? I ask without bothering to look myself.

 

[Bagge]

I know i seen wheels on one of the shows we went to, i can keep an eye out tomorrow and note what company it was from
