Hi everyone.

Would the Initial versions of the Tiger I in Russia during the winter of 1942/43 as well as in Africa during that same time period had the early treads or the initial treads with the mirror pattern?

Thanks.

The Russian ones were sent out with the mirrored treads. In some cases the crews swapped them around so they wouldn't have to carry 2 types of spares.
The African tanks all had the ordinary early tracks.

Hi David.

Thank you for the response. I guess I will just purchase whatever Friulmodel treads I can find cheapest and use those for the Leningrad Tiger I tank.

Have a great weekend.

Alex
