Colin, here is a web site that I found that you may find usefull. www.panzer-vi.fsnet.co.uk/ This site is devoted to German hardware. I do not know the answer to the question. You may try finding a German based site and asking them.Question [?]

Well, both may be produced by the Germans. But I was talking about Tamiya's! ;-)

Not exactly. Actually, both were produced. The early and mid-production models had rubber tires. There was a "late" variant that did have steel wheels, although only produced in small quantities, shortly before it was replaced by the Tiger II.

As far as I know, Tamiya never has any Tiger with the words "Steel-wheeled version" on the box. Unlike its Panther which it has both Panther Type G and Panther Type G "Steel-wheeled version" (the latter is more expensive even though it's plastic, not steel). Therefore, for your question, the answer is rubber rimmed ones.

I recently bought the Tamiya Tiger 1 Ausf. e SD.KFZ.181. I was wondering does any know if it had steel wheels or the rubber rimmed ones?
I only found out there was a difference when I was looking at an internet book shop and came across- 'Steel wheeled Tiger 1' by Angus Creighton.

Thanks to all that reply.Wink [;)]
