Tiger's with wheels missing

[Bucket]

I am building a late Tiger in 1/35, and want to have one or two wheels removed. Has anyone got a close up picture of the wheel hub with wheel removed. The only clear pictures I have found are of early models. Otherwise, does anyone know if an after market hub is available

Tank Workshop do the hubs, the outer wheels on Tigers were removed for rail transport and you would need the hubs to depict that.

Also Tigers on the eastern front often had the front outer wheel removed to prevent mud build-up jamming the drive sprocket when the mud froze.

How many wheels were you looking to lose?

Thanks gents, I checked out the Tank Workshop, and as per the pictures, the hubs shown are for and on early tigers. These have a hollow centre in the hub....the late Tiger seem to have sealed centres.
