Hi All,

1st. Sorry about making a new topic, because the old topic became really long, so I took the liberty to open a new one.

2nd, I got my Famo with trailer, Aber Basic set for the Famo, and additional set for the 116 in the weekend, as well as Tank Workshop tires. One thing bothers me is that both Tamiya and TWS tires have the wording "Continental" on them, what's the deal with this? Is there a German company during the war called continental? or it's the tires that were used in some mesuem and people copied it wrong.

Any comment and answer will be greatly appreciated.
