That's right, the first and only prototype didn't have zimm but had the standard rubber rimmed road wheels. All the others had the later steel wheels and zimm.

I guess I can always add the zimm and re-paint!

It got modernised with steel road wheels, they removed the filters but some fixings where still on there. It's also happens to be the one at kubica. Can send you some good pictures from when it was captured

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the Sturms were constructed from recovered lower hulls (mostly late), repaired with the superstructure added, so consistency of zim, rear deck, etc was non existent.

ALL of the COMBAT vehicles had zimm. The prototype was excluded from my statement, but you knew that.

So let it rest.

At risk of nit picking (but might help Karl) the modernised prototype saw combat had late wheels but didn't have Zimm
