I was just about to install the prepainted/masked wheels (Tiger 1 early) and noticed on page #3, which has the wheels assembly sequence on it, the bottom left corner says "Nicht Kleben/No Glue" but don't see anything that would/should not be glued???

Its not like the newer kits with the poly bushings so I don't get the no glue reference --- must be a typo

They simply explain what that symbol means. Already in step 4 they use it to denote you should leave your bow MG moveable.

The 'No glue' for roadwheels is quite common ....
I m assembling this:

and the tracks are single link intended to be workable and the road wheels are made to be workable with rather skinny axle stumps to mount them on (with "working" torsion bar suspension).
The whole makes for a very wobbly fit
Do I need to say that I will glue them in place?
I haven't planned on pushing the finished model across my work desk making brrmmmmm sounds .....

I can understand workable tracks even if I would be just as happy with glue-together single link tracks.

Looking at page 3 step 3. I gather they don't want you to glue the sprockets nor road wheels to the axle, just press fit them.
