 Subject:  That sprocket.....List thread.  
  
 Date:  Mar 7, 2005
 From:  Steve Campbell 
You really do have to wonder about kit manufacturers who have, as far as I can glean, made the decision on production grounds for some inherent cost cutting with the simplification while ignored all photographic evidence.
There is not 1 (that’s nil, zero, zilch) photo in “TIGERS IN COMBAT 1&2” or in “TIGER I ON THE WESTERN [and] EASTERN FRONT” nor “DW TO TIGER I” that supports AFVs interpretation of the drive sprocket (unlike the Tamiya one that was very representative). The arms/fingers that link the sprocket to the hub are wrong (way to sharp), the size of the bolts (to small) or the flat centre surface (to big) is incorrect (out of proportions with pics). Where the arms/fingers come out to the rim of the sprocket every one is connected as depicted by Tamiya.

Not a good start and after a quick call to my hobby shop to rescind my order I was greeted with “Your AFV Tiger order has arrived Mr Campbell. Will you be coming in now to collect them?” “Grrrrrrrr, too late!” I cried inwardly, “yes, I shall be in shortly” was my polite response. Well the up side is I do have lots of Tiger spares to combine with these AFV kits.
