Looking for a set of replacement roadwheels for an old Italari Panzer 38(t). This is one of the old (30 yrs old) kits I recently purchased, and the roadwheels in the kit have no backs to them. #:-)

Otherwise the detail looks ok.

Check out Fort Duquesne. The reviews that I have seen for his 38(t) chassis products say that they are the best available. I recently ordered the Sherman VVSS wheels from him directly and had no problem and the quality is second to none.

Hi All,
Save your money and buy the Maquette 38(t) running gear set. This comes with a complete suspension for the 38(t) with properly detailed wheels and individual link track! I think it retails around US$10, so it's a pretty good deal. HTH.
Regards,
Georg

I never make the same mistake twice... I make new ones.

In regards to the Maquette stuff and saving money: 1) The Fort Duquesne stuff is worlds better and is only $12.95. 2) The tracks that come with the Maquette stuff are not very good and a royal pain to work with. 3) It all depends on what you want, I am willing to pay a bit of money to go the extra mile with my models. If I were working on the kit in question, I would go with the MK track and Fort Duquesne wheels, but I'm not working on the model and am only making suggestions.
