 Subject:  Re: Aber PE kitList thread.  
  
 Date:  Oct 23, 2007
 From:  Henrik Sjolund 
The Aber PE kit seems to contain some G13 items. My guess is that the kit is based on one of the G13s that has been retrofitted to resemble Hetzers at several museums.

I have just started with this PE set myself. What I have found so far:
* The D rings (50)
* Towing brackets support and strengthening (46L, 47 and 48)
* Drain plugs? on final drive housing (32)

My references are not that extensive, so it might be possible that some of these features also existed on some version of the Hetzer.
The Hetzer Starr has D-rings similar to the ones in the kit for instance. But not at the positions given in the instruction. The positions fits the G13 spot on though.
