I have not heard from the machinist yet, and probably wont until next week sometime. For some reason all of the machine shops in this area are extremely busy right now, or is it just me? Well anyway, I have been keeping busy with the suspension and road wheels. I have all of the spring hangers and springs put together using the ones from 35RCTank. They work great for this application. I have put bearings in all of the Tiger 1 wheels, made hubcaps so that they look like the Hetzer wheels, and I am in the process of making the attachment points for the pairs. I have run into one snag however. I am short on four (4) screws. I thought I had them, but I can't find them and they were not with the others. They must have gone UA! So, I am in need of purchasing some of the axle screws from a StuG III or PZ III. If anyone has some they are willing to sell, PM me please. These are the Allen head screws with a shoulder that attach the axles to the tank hull in the first picture.

Thanks, Herman
