I have samples on the way, and will review these at some date soon. Bitskrieg is looking at having AM replacement wheels for all the German half tracks, which would be invaluable. To my knowledge, only Tank Workshop makes them for the Sd.Kfz.9 (the so-called "FAMO"). Someone asked recently about the Dunlop brand marks on a set of Bitskrieg wheels, and how Nazi vehicles would have a British tire brand. First of all, Dunlop apparently had a plant in Fulda. But Greg Rossa of Bitskrieg/QuickWheel tells me that when he saw the new Nashorn from AFV Club has Dunlop markings on the Pz.IV road wheel bands, he checked that against photos he has from Art, Architecture and Design Library in Münster, Germany and found those rubber "tires" on the road wheels have Dunlop markings. While someone might argue a restorer put American-branded tires on post-war Sd.Kfz. 251s, it's not possible that would happen for a Panzer IV chassis.
