I was going to start Revell's late Stug lll with the Saukopf mantlet and remote control MG, when I noticed that the return rollers are of the earlier rubber-tired version, and not the all-steel perforated type. Are there any simple solutions to correct this? (Besides hiding them behind Schuertzen? I already thought of that!)
Revell has also released what appears to be a new Puma armoured car, but, "Buyer Beware", it's just a re-release of the much earlier Airfix/Matchbox version. What a rip-off!!!

Hi Biggles ...you don't really have to change the return rollers as you can see very late model Stugs with these rubber wheels ...but it is true that the steel one do look cool...

Hi Biggles, I built the Revell StuG III, and I used some spare KV return rollers I had left over from a PST kit that I had built, they don't look out of place when you compare them with photo's in the StuG walkaround book by Squadron Signal.
