I am working on a Pz III for the Russian front and am wondering if the road wheels had a rubber rim on the outside of each wheel? If so I am assuming i should paint them a darkish gray-black color? Thanks, Terry |

Yes, they had rubber around the rims of the "Bogie" wheels. The Germans had rubber-rimmed bogie wheels or road wheels on all their tanks, except some trial production models of Tiger I and Panther late (1944) war tanks. And, only a very small number of these tanks actually sported the all-steel rimmed wheels, incidentally. Also, I believe it was a variant of the Jagdpanzer IV that had one of it's bogie wheels or was it some kind of alignment roller, (on ea side) that was only metal rimmed, the rest being rubber-rimmed, as per normal, for some track alignment or some other performance reason – I forget what the reason was. I think is something to do with keeping the tracks from jumping off the wheels . . . - Tibor |

Most of the PzIVL70 variants had all steel road wheels on the front 2 (or even 4?) positions due to the vehicle being very front heavy. |

That would be the jagdpanzer IV with the L70.
I may be mistaken but I don't think any of the regular pz4 had steel wheels factory fitted. |
