Thank you for any help

According to Tom Crmwell's review of the Italeri Puma kit, "The wheel rims have five crescent-shaped vent holes around the edges, but some wartime photos show a two-vent type that is not included. The tyres are of a variety sometimes seen in wartime photos but more common on preserved vehicles. There is a more common tread type in the action shots, which might be available from the AM crowd."

I have seen that tire type on very late vehicles, primarily the version with the 75 mm Pak 40 gun. The earlier versions usually have a civilian pattern tire, sometimes more than one type on the same vehicle. There are resin tires available, if you want to mix them up a bit.

OOOPs Sorry for the typo Tom

Not to worry, Frenchy! It's always nice being mentioned in despatches...
