PzIV/70 (v)

Bought a box. Thought I would do some assembly last night.

Can someone, anyone, explain to me why the aytch ee double hockey sticks Battlefront felt the need to have the front two road wheels on each set of tracks need to have a hub assembled onto them? Am I missing some nuiance of the tank in particular or is this just some needless fiddly part that BF felt they needed to scuplt extra for its own sprue? Some magical minimum bit number per kit or is there some purpose to me gluing my fingers together? Did the ones stationed in Buda have all of them and the ones in Pest were missing half?

Anyone with the burning light of knowledge, please shine it on me cause I am thinkikng dark and evil thoughts about New Zealand.

If I understand you correctly, you mean why the 2 frontboggies are what they are. Well that is because at first PzIV/70 had rubberboggies but those were fast to wear out due to the weight of the vehicle which was caused by the gun. So a fully metal ones were introduced which didn't wear out so fast.

So yer saying I should have two types of boggies in my box? Guess I need to go digging then cause I wasn't seeing those options last night.

those boggies should be two-sided so just flip them around http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=3283

Wow....Didn't know that.

It's good that I could help
